The quadruped robot has the advantages of flexible movement and large load because of the bionic leg structure. In order to improve their intelligence and autonomy in the complex environment, we build a highly integrated sensing system with lidar and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) on a quadruped robot. After the robot completes the construction of the map, point clouds are aligned using Normal Distribution Transform(NDT) registration to realize the localization of the robot. In the experimental part, we quantitatively tested the accuracy of outdoor localization and also completed indoor-outdoor navigation experiments for the quadruped robot. The experimental results validate the effectiveness of the perception system.

Chatbots, which emulate human conversation, are meeting the rising demand for efficient customer service by reducing the need for manual intervention and alleviating the challenges of timeconsuming human interactions. This paper introduces Ubot, a domain-specific chatbot fluent in both Urdu and English transliteration, designed to reduce the need for human intervention and lower service costs. We address the challenge of low-resource languages by creating a dataset comprising 750 utterances, 28 intents, and 45 entities, validated by 36 participants. Ubot, powered by the Rasa framework, achieves remarkable accuracy in intent detection 94.1% and entity extraction 95.4%, offering efficient multilingual conversational AI solutions. Our approach holds promise for similar script-sharing languages such as Persian and Arabic, contributing to advanced language applications and intelligent virtual assistants.

Especially, during hard- and software development as well as mission training the process benefits of easy-to-access test sites that offer realistic conditions. For this purpose we have built the 1500 m

DLR Moon-Mars test site in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany. The facility provides a large variety of geological formations and ground substrates on a compact terrain as well as a rich set of power and network connections. As a unique feature of the outdoor test site, we prepared a dedicated link to the German Space Operations center that enables telerobotic experiments from ISS. Furthermore, we provide an optical tracking system for ground truth measurement and control. We describe the design and construction process of the test site and present an overview of its features. Three experiments with our robots LRU1, LRU2 and the Scout rover regarding autonomous navigation and mapping, autonomous manipulation and sampling as well as advanced mobility tests demonstrate the usage of the test site.

Designing control inputs that satisfy safety requirements is crucial in safety-critical nonlinear control, and this task becomes particularly challenging when full-state measurements are unavailable. In this work, we address the problem of synthesizing safe and stable control for control-affine systems via output feedback (using an observer) while reducing the estimation error of the observer. To achieve this, we adapt control Lyapunov function (CLF) and control barrier function (CBF) techniques to the output feedback setting. Building upon the existing CLF-CBF-QP (Quadratic Program) and CBF-QP frameworks, we formulate two confidence-aware optimization problems and establish the Lipschitz continuity of the obtained solutions. To validate our approach, we conduct simulation studies on two illustrative examples. The simulation studies indicate both improvements in the observer's estimation accuracy and the fulfillment of safety and control requirements.
Extracting dynamic models from data is of enormous importance in understanding the properties of unknown systems. In this work, we employ Lipschitz neural networks, a class of neural networks with a prescribed upper b...

The growing need for assistive and rehabilitative robots requires more understanding of interactions between the human and such robots. RoboWalk is one of such robotic assistive devices to help users in walking. One of the challenges in using RoboWalk is the horizontal component which undesirably appears besides the desirable assistive vertical force for weight compensation. This horizontal component can disrupt the user’s gait and cause discomfort and stability disturbances. This is due to the fact that the current design of RoboWalk does not allow for any displacement due to the singularity of the robot’s inverse kinematics. This paper proposes a few solutions to solve this problem in redesigning the motion mechanism. Analyses using Adams software show the effects of each solution on enhancing RoboWalk’s functionality. Obtained results reveal that the proposed solutions are feasible and have the potential to significantly improve the user experience.
Variable scene layouts and coexisting objects across scenes make indoor scene recognition still a challenging task. Leveraging object information within scenes to enhance the distinguishability of feature representati...

Ornithopter’s research can be categorized into two parts. First, aerodynamics analysis of the flying robot including designing the body and choosing the robot’s material based on the analysis. Second, design and analysis of the mechanism which makes the wings move. So far, most of the researches has been focused on the first subject, i. e., aerodynamics analysis; even some books were published on this topic. However, there is little research about the mechanisms while most of the previous works are based on the patterns verified before. This paper will propose the design of a new spatial mechanism. Besides, three common planar mechanisms will be modeled and simulated to analyze and compare to the proposed mechanism in terms of aerodynamics forces for one wing beat cycle. These results reveal that the proposed 3D mechanism works more promising than others.
