A Neuromorphic Approach to Obstacle Avoidance in Robot Manipulation

no code implementations8 Apr 2024 Ahmed Faisal Abdelrahman, Matias Valdenegro-Toro, Maren Bennewitz, Paul G. Plöger

To investigate the utility of brain-inspired sensing and data processing, we developed a neuromorphic approach to obstacle avoidance on a camera-equipped manipulator.

Handling Sparse Rewards in Reinforcement Learning Using Model Predictive Control

no code implementations4 Oct 2022 Murad Dawood, Nils Dengler, Jorge de Heuvel, Maren Bennewitz

Our experiments show that MPC as an experience source improves the agent's learning process for a given task in the case of sparse rewards.

NBV-SC: Next Best View Planning based on Shape Completion for Fruit Mapping and Reconstruction

no code implementations30 Sep 2022 Rohit Menon, Tobias Zaenker, Nils Dengler, Maren Bennewitz

Active perception for fruit mapping and harvesting is a difficult task since occlusions occur frequently and the location as well as size of fruits change over time.

The Pitfall of More Powerful Autoencoders in Lidar-Based Navigation

no code implementations3 Feb 2021 Christopher Gebauer, Maren Bennewitz

In a second stage, we show the usage of the compact state representation generated by our autoencoding pipeline in a simplistic navigation task and expose the pitfall that increased reconstruction power will always lead to an improved performance.

A Neuro-inspired Theory of Joint Human-Swarm Interaction

no code implementations9 Jul 2020 Jonas D. Hasbach, Maren Bennewitz

Human-swarm interaction (HSI) is an active research challenge in the realms of swarm robotics and human-factors engineering.

Bonn Activity Maps: Dataset Description

no code implementations13 Dec 2019 Julian Tanke, Oh-Hun Kwon, Patrick Stotko, Radu Alexandru Rosu, Michael Weinmann, Hassan Errami, Sven Behnke, Maren Bennewitz, Reinhard Klein, Andreas Weber, Angela Yao, Juergen Gall

The key prerequisite for accessing the huge potential of current machine learning techniques is the availability of large databases that capture the complex relations of interest.
