Metrics and Benchmarks for Remote Shared Controllers in Industrial Applications
LINK TO PAPER: https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.08381 LINK TO POSTER: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1osPtTC9_zDxhm90epWTHXzcY2Ty7DIKq Remote manipulation is emerging as one of the key robotics tasks needed in extreme environments. Several researchers have investigated how to add AI components into shared controllers to improve their reliability. Nonetheless, the impact of novel research approaches in real-world applications can have a very slow in-take. We propose a set of bench
Invited Speaker @'First Joint Workshop of Robotics and Mathematics'
First Joint Workshop of Robotics and Mathematics This is a multidisciplinary workshop whose purpose is to bring together Robotics and Applied Mathematics at the University of Birmingham. It will open in the morning, with the talks from the Robotics Group led by Professor Rustam Stolkin. In the afternoon, the many facets of our Applied Mathematics research are going to be presented. As usual, most of the discussion will take place at lunch and coffee breaks, and the dinner wil
