The success of mobile robots, and particularly those interfacing with humans in daily environments (e.g., assistant robots), relies on the ability to manipulate information beyond simple spatial relations. We are interested semantic information, which gives meaning like images or geometric maps. present a multi-hierarchical approach enable robot acquire from its sensors, use it for navigation tasks. In our approach, link between is established via anchoring. show experiments real that...
This paper presents the Robot-at-Home dataset (Robot@Home), a collection of raw and processed sensory data from domestic settings aimed at serving as benchmark for semantic mapping algorithms through categorization objects and/or rooms. The contains 87,000+ time-stamped observations gathered by mobile robot endowed with rig four RGB-D cameras 2D laser scanner. Raw have been to produce different outcomes also distributed dataset, including 3D reconstructions geometric maps inspected rooms,...
Completely autonomous performance of a mobile robot within noncontrolled and dynamic environments is not possible yet due to different reasons including environment uncertainty, sensor/software robustness, limited robotic abilities, etc. But in assistant applications which human always present, she/he can make up for the lack autonomy by helping it when needed. In this paper, authors propose human-robot integration as mechanism augment/improve daily scenarios. Through human-robot-integration...
Ultra-wide band (UWB) sensors are innovative devices constructed for efficient wireless communications that have recently being used vehicle localization in indoor environments. In contrast, GPS well-known satellite-based positioning widely extended outdoor applications. We evaluate this paper the combination of both technologies vehicles a mixed scenario (both and situations), which is typical applications such as automatic guided transporting storing goods among warehouses. The framework...
Telepresence robots are teleoperated robotic systems that allow users to virtually visit a remote place and interact with the environment through their sensorial motor capabilities. This technology has great potential facilitate interaction social communication people, in particular elderly. paper presents some technical improvements for one of such robot: Giraff telepresence platform. These improvements, raised by users' experience, related safer easier driving platform, including...
This paper addresses the localization of a gas emission source within real-world human environment with mobile robot. Our approach is based on an efficient and coherent system that fuses different sensor modalities (i.e., vision chemical sensing) to exploit, for first time, semantic relationships among detected gases objects visually recognized in environment. novel allows robot focus search finite set potential candidates (dynamically updated as operates), while accounting non-negligible...
In domestic robotics, passing through narrow areas becomes critical for safe and effective robot navigation. Due to factors like sensor noise or miscalibration, even if the free space is sufficient pass through, it may not see enough clearance navigate, hence limiting its operational space. An approach facing this insert waypoints strategically placed within problematic in map, which are considered by planner when generating a trajectory help successfully traverse them. This typically...
Task planning in mobile robotics should be performed efficiently, due to real-time requirements of robot-environment interaction. Its computational efficiency depends both on the number operators (actions robot can perform without planning) and size world states (descriptions before after application operators). Thus, real robotic applications, where components large, may turn inefficient, even unsolvable. In artificial intelligence (AI) literature planning, little attention has been put...
An experimental evaluation of water productivity and footprint was carried out in a Mediterranean greenhouse tomato crop irrigated with different blends desalinated seawater (DSW) for two growing media: soil soilless culture. Total commercial values (expressed terms kg fruit/m3 water) were calculated from empirical data on consumption yields. Regarding the media, results experiment showed that culture had significantly lower higher footprint, mainly due to greater these systems. These...
GPS receivers are satellite-based devices widely used for vehicle localization that, given their limitations, not suitable performing within indoor or dense urban environments. On the other hand, Ultra-Wide Band (UWB), a technology efficient wireless communication, has recently being in environments with promising results. This paper focuses on combination of both technologies accurate positioning vehicles mixed scenario (both and outdoor situations), which is typical some industrial...
Robotic telepresence is an emerging technology with a great potential in applications such as elder assistance, telework, and surveillance. It relies on combination of information communication technologies mobile robotics to provide person autonomy move interact remote environment. The application environments range from homes factories, even large outdoor spaces, the type users involved particular contexts also varied. That leads heterogeneity design robotic platforms, infrastructures,...
