RISLab Wins SSRR 2022 Best Paper Award
Congratulations to the authors Kshitij Goel, Yves Georgy Daoud, Nathan Michael, and Wennie Tabib for their Best Paper Award at the IEEE International Symposium on Safety, Security, and Rescue Robotics (SSRR) 2022. Their paper "Hierarchical Collision Avoidance for Adaptive-Speed Multirotor Tele-Operation" was selected out of[...]
A Low-Cost Robot Ready for Any Obstacle
This little robot can go almost anywhere. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science and the University of California, Berkeley, have designed a robotic system that enables a low-cost and relatively small legged robot to climb and descend stairs nearly its height; traverse[...]
Stretching Sound
It's not Beethoven, Bruno Mars or even the Beatles, but students from across Carnegie Mellon University assembled quite a band this summer. The students came from the School of Computer Science's Robotics Institute; the Entertainment Technology Center; the School of Music; and the Integrative Design,[...]
CMU Research Earns Top Honors at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation
Research from Carnegie Mellon University took home top honors at the 2022 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) last month. The ICRA is among the largest and most prestigious robotics conferences. More than 3,000 papers were submitted to the conference and about[...]
Roboticists Go Off Road To Compile Data That Could Train Self-Driving ATVs
TartanDrive Dataset Likely Largest for Off-Road Environments Byron Spice CMU researchers took an ATV on wild rides to gather data that could be used to train self-driving vehicles to drive off road in the future. Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University took an[...]
CMU Researchers Develop Algorithm To Divvy Up Tasks for Human-Robot Teams
Aaron Aupperlee Robotics Institute researchers have developed an algorithmic planner that helps delegate tasks to humans and robots. As robots increasingly join people on the factory floor, in warehouses and elsewhere on the job, dividing up who will do which tasks grows in[...]
