Alexander Bienemann, Lukas Beer, Andreas Reich, Thomas Steinecker, Bianca Forkel, Anton Backhaus +5

ICRA 2026poster

In this article, we present a perception-based full-stack system for autonomous vehicle following that does not rely on accurate global localization or map data. Our architecture consists of modules for vehicle communication, localization, object tracking, waypoint management, static environment mod…

Mean Reflected Mass: A Physically Interpretable Metric for Safety Assessment and Posture Optimization in Human-Robot Interaction

Thomas Steinecker, Alexander Kurdas, Nico Mansfeld, Mazin Hamad, Robin Jeanne Kirschner, Saeed Abdolshah +1

ICRA 2022poster

In physical human-robot interaction (pHRI), safety is a key requirement. As collisions between humans and robots can generally not be avoided, it must be ensured that the human is not harmed. The robot reflected mass, the contact geometry, and the relative velocity between human and robot are the pa…
