This paper presents Robobo in the context of higher education. Robobo is a low-cost educational mobile robot that combines a simple wheeled base with a smartphone, which provides the latest technology to the robot. With Robobo, students can develop their own projects through ROS using cameras, microphones or high-resolution screens, bringing teaching closer to the real requirements of the market they will find when they finish their studies. In this work, the hardware and software development that has been carried out is described in detail. Furthermore, it is presented an exemplifying case of student project that shows the potentiality of Robobo in this context.

In this paper we discuss work in progress and our approach to nextgeneration robotics. The use of cognitive architectures can overcome some of the challenges encountered when Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms are introduced to robotic systems. New cognitive functionality is required to that end. We discuss system requirements that are currently not sufficiently addressed, and present our current work.

We describe the design of a novel commercial biomimetic brain-based robot, MIRO, developed as a prototype robot companion. The MIRO robot is animal-like in several aspects of its appearance, however, it is also biomimetic in a more significant way, in that its control architecture mimics some of the key principles underlying the design of the mammalian brain as revealed by neuroscience. Specifically, MIRO builds on decades of previous work in developing robots with brain-based control systems using a layered control architecture alongside centralized mechanisms for integration and action selection. MIRO's control system operates across three core processors, P1-P3, that mimic aspects of spinal cord, brainstem, and forebrain functionality respectively. Whilst designed as a versatile prototype for nextgeneration companion robots, MIRO also provides developers and researchers with a new platform for investigating the potential advantages of brain-based control.

This paper presents a novel trajectory planning method for collaborative robots, focusing on a risk-centric approach to enhance safety and performance. Drawing from risk management principles, encompassing factors such as operator safety, performance degradation, and internal robot-related issues, the proposed framework offers a comprehensive solution for offline trajectory planning and online reactive trajectory execution. The main contributions include developing and implementing a risk definition and assessment framework utilizing fuzzy inference systems, a mapping strategy leveraging fuzzy logic to correlate robot states with risk levels, and formulating a global measure for evaluating the overall risk. Additionally, the paper introduces a risk-driven motion planning algorithm aimed at minimizing trajectory risk. It also proposes a reactive trajectory adaptation method to respond dynamically to elevated risk levels during task execution. Validation through simulations and experiments with a 7 Degree of Freedom (DoF) robotic manipulator demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed approach in generating risk-limited trajectories and adapting online to collision risk factors.

The mobile industrial manipulator(MIM) which combines the advantages of both the mobile robot and industrial robot and owns powerful mobility, flexibility and functionality will be the nextgeneration of robots. However fully autonomous MIM performing various tasks in unstructured or semi-structured environment is very challenging in autonomous localization & navigation, object identification, control and coordination. However, there is a demand in industry for MIMs to be deployed in hazardous, dangerous and/or remotely environments. Therefore, a semi-autonomous MIM is investigated to perform industrial operations. An MIM prototype using a mobile platform and an industrial robot is developed. Manual and autonomous methods are proposed and implemented to control the prototype manually and autonomously. Experiments using the prototype were performed. Experimental results demonstrate that the robot can run autonomously if there is no ambiguity and the operators can interrupt the autonomous mode at any time if needed. The developed prototype and proposed methods have big potential in industrial applications.

A gait generation method for biped robots that realizes stabilization of the single-supporting phase by taking advantage of robustness of the double-supporting phase is developed. Considering these points, the proposed method utilizes the double-supporting phase to eliminate disturbances that are caused by ground condition and/or other factors affecting stability of biped locomotion. In our method, ample stability margin in the double-supporting phase is also exploited to realize the angular momentum that is required by the next single-supporting phase. The propose method can achieve more stable continuous walk due to these features. In this paper, the proposed gait generation method is explained in detail and some results of experiments using originally developed humanoid robot are reported.
