The Covid-19 pandemic is forcing a rethink in robotics. In the form it is known today, robotics was prerogative of a broad community of insiders. But now, in the wreckage left behind by the coronavirus pandemic, a new era is beginning. What does it hold? In front of the crisis, more and more people...

Humanoids are, by definition, robotic systems for which the control of interaction forces with the environment is elemental for the accomplishment of any loco-manipulation task. Any feedback controller of the interaction forces would invariably require some form of measure or estimation of the...

The research in this area is at the intersection between Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, and has its roots in the early AI research that targeted robots as embodiments of the intelligent agent.
The key scientific challenge, which has received a significant push by the recent... -

We present a novel approach to estimate the distance between a generic point in the Cartesian space and objects detected with a depth sensor. This information is crucial in many robotic applications, e.g., for collision avoidance, contact point identification, and augmented reality. The key idea is...
