For the majority of tasks performed by traditional serial robot arms, such as bin picking or pick and place, only two or three degrees of freedom (DOF) are required for motion; however, by augmenting the number of degrees of freedom, further dexterity of robot arms for multiple tasks can be achieved. Instead of increasing the number of joints of a robot to improve flexibility and adaptation, which increases control complexity, weight, and cost of the overall system, malleable robots utilise a variable stiffness link between joints allowing the relative positioning of the revolute pairs at each end of the link to vary, thus enabling a low DOF serial robot to adapt across tasks by varying its workspace. In this paper, we present the design and prototyping of a 2-DOF malleable robot, calculate the general equation of its workspace using a parameterisation based on distance geometry---suitable for robot arms of variable topology, and characterise the workspace categories that the end effector of the robot can trace via reconfiguration. Through the design and construction of the malleable robot we explore design considerations, and demonstrate the viability of the overall concept. By using motion tracking on the physical robot, we show examples of the infinite number of workspaces that the introduced 2-DOF malleable robot can achieve.

In this paper, we present a toolchain to design, execute, and verify robot behaviors. The toolchain follows the guidelines defined by the EU H2020 project RobMoSys and encodes the robot deliberation as a Behavior Tree (BT), a directed tree where the
internal nodes model behavior composition and leaf nodes model action or measurement operations. Such leaf nodes take the form of a statechart (SC), which runs in separate threads, whose states perform basic arithmetic operations and send commands to the robot. The toolchain provides the ability to define a runtime monitor for a given system specification that warns the user whenever a given specification is violated. We validated the toolchain in a simulated experiment that we made reproducible in an OS-virtualization environment.
Master control console is a place where robots collaborate with humans in a shared environment. To this end, ergonomics is an important aspect to be considered. With ergonomic design, the surgeons can feel more comfortable to conduct the surgical tas
ks with higher efficiency, and the quality of the teleoperated robotic surgery can be improved. In this paper, an Ergonomic Interaction Workspace Analysis method is proposed to optimize master manipulators and fulfil ergonomics consideration for designing a master manipulator for teleoperated robotic surgery.
Aerial autonomous machines (Drones) has a plethora of promising applications and use cases. While the popularity of these autonomous machines continues to grow, there are many challenges, such as endurance and agility, that could hinder the practical
deployment of these machines. The closed-loop control frequency must be high to achieve high agility. However, given the resource-constrained nature of the aerial robot, achieving high control loop frequency is hugely challenging and requires careful co-design of algorithm and onboard computer. Such an effort requires infrastructures that bridge various domains, namely robotics, machine learning, and system architecture design. To that end, we present AutoSoC, a framework for co-designing algorithms as well as hardware accelerator systems for end-to-end learning-based aerial autonomous machines. We demonstrate the efficacy of the framework by training an obstacle avoidance algorithm for aerial robots to navigate in a densely cluttered environment. For the best performing algorithm, our framework generates various accelerator design candidates with varying performance, area, and power consumption. The framework also runs the ASIC flow of place and route and generates a layout of the floor-planed accelerator, which can be used to tape-out the final hardware chip.
This work provides a framework for a workspace aware online grasp planner. This framework greatly improves the performance of standard online grasp planning algorithms by incorporating a notion of reachability into the online grasp planning process.
Offline, a database of hundreds of thousands of unique end-effector poses were queried for feasability. At runtime, our grasp planner uses this database to bias the hand towards reachable end-effector configurations. The bias keeps the grasp planner in accessible regions of the planning scene so that the resulting grasps are tailored to the situation at hand. This results in a higher percentage of reachable grasps, a higher percentage of successful grasp executions, and a reduced planning time. We also present experimental results using simulated and real environments.
Tensegrity structures are lightweight, can undergo large deformations, and have outstanding robustness capabilities. These unique properties inspired roboticists to investigate their use. However, the morphological design, control, assembly, and actu
ation of tensegrity robots are still difficult tasks. Moreover, the stiffness of tensegrity robots is still an underestimated design parameter. In this article, we propose to use easy to assemble, actuated tensegrity modules and body-brain co-evolution to design soft tensegrity modular robots. Moreover, we prove the importance of tensegrity robots stiffness showing how the evolution suggests a different morphology, control, and locomotion strategy according to the modules stiffness.
