*Title:* Robotic systems that React, Interact, Adapt and Learn * * *Abstract:* In the rapidly evolving field of robotics, a significant shift is taking place: the move from traditional industrial applications to dynamic human-centered environments. This transition demands robotic systems that are not just safe and collaborative but also highly adaptive and capable of learning through interaction from their surroundings. In this talk, I will focus on adaptive real-time solutions for reactive trajectory generation, force-based robotic manipulation and grasping implemented on collaborative robots but also learning-based solutions for problems that involve deformable objects showcasing the complex dynamics at play. I will discuss how haptic sensing can be utilized to address uncertainty and facilitate adaptability, and how dual arm robots can show increased flexibility and independence from a structured environment. To conclude, I will highlight the essential synergy between navigation, manipulation, and grasping, emphasizing the intricate challenges involved in developing a cohesive robotic system that seamlessly coordinates the functionalities of hand, arm, and body within complex dynamic environments. *Upcoming breakfast seminar*
The breakfast seminars are scheduled once per month with the main purpose of triggering multi-disciplinary discussions and potential collaborations. These are the upcoming planned slots:
* *Oct 8*, 09:00-10:00 @ EIT * *Nov 5*, 09:00-10:00 @ Control * *Dec 3*, 09:00-10:00 @ Math
Speaker and registration details will be sent out closer to each slot.
Welcome! The AID breakfast seminar coordinators.
