Safe, Robust and Adaptive Model Learning for Agile Robots: Autonomous Racing

1305 Newell Simon Hall

Abstract: In recent years there has been a rapid development in agile robots capable of operating at their limits in dynamic environments. Autonomous racing and recent developments in it also spurred by competitions such as the Indy Autonomous Challenge, A2RL, and F1Tenth have shown how modern autonomous control algorithms are capable of operating racecars at [...]

Improving Lego Assembly with Vibro-Tactile Feedback

Newell Simon Hall 4119

Abstract: Robotic manipulation is an important area of research to improve the level of efficiency and autonomy in manufacturing processes. Due to the high precision and repeatability of industrial robot arms, robotic manufacturing tasks are dominated by simple pick, place, and peg insertion actions performed in a highly structured environment. Lego blocks are an excellent [...]
