Optimal decision making in robotic assembly and other trial-and-error tasks

1 code implementation25 Jan 2023 James Watson, Nikolaus Correll

Uncertainty in perception, actuation, and the environment often require multiple attempts for a robotic task to be successful.

Toward smart composites: small-scale, untethered prediction and control for soft sensor/actuator systems

no code implementations22 May 2022 Sarah Aguasvivas Manzano, Vani Sundaram, Artemis Xu, Khoi Ly, Mark Rentschler, Robert Shepherd, Nikolaus Correll

We then study experimental results on two experimental rigs with different sensing, actuation and computational hardware: a tendon-based platform with embedded LightLace sensors and a HASEL-based platform with magnetic sensors.

High-bandwidth nonlinear control for soft actuators with recursive network models

no code implementations4 Jan 2021 Sarah Aguasvivas Manzano, Patricia Xu, Khoi Ly, Robert Shepherd, Nikolaus Correll

We present a high-bandwidth, lightweight, and nonlinear output tracking technique for soft actuators that combines parsimonious recursive layers for forward output predictions and online optimization using Newton-Raphson.

Augmented Reality for Human-Swarm Interaction in a Swarm-Robotic Chemistry Simulation

no code implementations2 Dec 2019 Sumeet Batra, John Klingner, Nikolaus Correll

We present a method to register individual members of a robotic swarm in an augmented reality display while showing relevant information about swarm dynamics to the user that would be otherwise hidden.

Embedded Neural Networks for Robot Autonomy

1 code implementation10 Nov 2019 Sarah Aguasvivas Manzano, Dana Hughes, Cooper Simpson, Radhen Patel, Nikolaus Correll

We present a library to automatically embed signal processing and neural network predictions into the material robots are made of.

Distributed Machine Learning in Materials that Couple Sensing, Actuation, Computation and Communication

no code implementations11 Jun 2016 Dana Hughes, Nikolaus Correll

As the ultimate goal of this research is to incorporate the approaches described in this survey into a robotic material paradigm, the potential for adapting the computational models used in these applications, and corresponding training algorithms, to an amorphous network of computing nodes is considered.
