The impact on the energy consumption of flying drones in favorable winds is investigated in this paper. A tandem system is considered, with only one drone and one truck. The truck moves on a predefined route and brings the drone close to the delivery point. Then, the drone plans its service route...

Cheap commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) drones have become widely available for consumers in recent years. Unfortunately, they also provide low-cost capabilities for attackers. Therefore, effective methods to detect the presence of non-cooperating rogue drones within a restricted area are...

The dynamic uncertainties and disturbances characterizing continuum soft robots call for the derivation of simple and possibly information-free controllers. We propose an iterative learning control law for shape regulation of continuum soft robots consisting of a PD action and a feedforward term,...

In this paper, we propose a real-time multi-class detection system for the NAO V6 robot in the context of RoboCup SPL (Standard Platform League) using state-of-the-art structural pruning techniques on neural networks derived from YOLOv7-tiny. Our approach combines structural pruning and fine-tuning...

Robots playing soccer often rely on hard-coded behaviors that struggle to generalize when the game environment change. In this paper, we propose a temporal logic based approach that allows robots’ behaviors and goals to adapt to the semantics of the environment. In particular, we present a...

Enriching the robot representation of the operational environment is a challenging task that aims at bridging the gap between low-level sensor readings and high-level semantic understanding. Having a rich representation often requires computationally demanding architectures and pure point cloud...

Collaborative robots seamlessly share the space with humans in production scenarios such as those involved in smart manufacturing and agriculture, thus raising several human safety concerns. Since a collaboration between humans and robots is performed through communicative acts, applying accurate...

Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) has become increasingly important as robots have been integrated into various daily life aspects. Gesture recognition plays a crucial role in non-verbal communication in HRI. Indeed, the real-time robot's interpretation of human gestures is essential for enhancing the...

Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) has grown increasingly important with the integration of various types of robots into industrial and daily life aspects. Non-verbal communication plays a vital role in HRI and heavily relies on gesture recognition. The ability of robot’s interpretation of human...

In the context of collaborative robotics, robots share the working space with humans and communication between the two parties is of utmost importance. While different modalities can be employed, speech represents a natural way of interaction for people. In this paper, we introduce a speech-based...
