This paper presents a family of autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) platforms designed for diverse range indoor and outdoor applications. The proposed UAV design is highly modular in terms used actuators, sensor configurations, even frames. allows to achieve, with minimal effort, proper experimental setup single, as well as, multi-robot scenarios. Presented are intended facilitate the transition from simulations, simplified laboratory experiments, into deployment aerial robots...
The use of robotic systems, especially multi-rotor aerial vehicles, in the documentation historical buildings and cultural heritage monuments has become common recent years. However, teleoperated systems have significant limitations encouraging ongoing development autonomous unmanned vehicles (UAVs). platforms provide a more accurate safe measurement distant difficult to access areas than their counterpart. Through such places by humans building external infrastructures like scaffolding for...
We experimentally evaluated the accuracy with which material properties can be estimated through object compression by two standard parallel jaw grippers and a force/torque sensor mounted at robot wrist, professional biaxial device used as reference. Gripper effort versus position curves were obtained transformed into stress/strain curves. The modulus of elasticity was different strain points effect multiple cycles (precycling), speed, gripper surface area on estimation studied....
This paper presents a modular autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) platform called the Multi-robot Systems (MRS) Drone that can be used in large range of indoor and outdoor applications. The MRS features unique modularity with respect to changes actuators, frames, sensory configuration. As name suggests, is specially tailored for deployment within group. contributes state-of-the-art UAV platforms by allowing smooth real-world multiple aerial robots, as well outperforming other its...
In haptic object discrimination, the effect of gripper embodiment, action parameters, and sensory channels has not been systematically studied. We used two anthropomorphic hands 2-finger grippers to grasp sets deformable objects. On classification task, we found: (i) among classifiers, SVM on features LSTM raw time series performed best across all grippers; (ii) faster compression speeds degraded performance; (iii) generalization different grasping configurations was limited; transfer worked...
