While much work has been done recently in the realm of model-based control of soft robots and soft-rigid hybrids, most works examine robots that have an inherently serial structure. While these systems have been prevalent in the literature, there is an increasing trend toward designing soft-rigid hybrids with intrinsically coupled elasticity between various degrees of freedom. In this work, we seek to address the issues of modeling and controlling such structures, particularly when underactuated. We introduce several simple models for elastic coupling, typical of those seen in these systems. We then propose a controller that compensates for the elasticity, and we prove its stability with Lyapunov methods without relying on the elastic dominance assumption. This controller is applicable to the general class of underactuated soft robots. After evaluating the controller in simulated cases, we then develop a simple hardware platform to evaluate both the models and the controller. Finally, using the hardware, we demonstrate a novel use case for underactuated, elastically coupled systems in "sensorless" force control.
One of the current trends in robotics is to employ large language models (LLMs) to provide non-predefined command execution and natural human-robot interaction. It is useful to have an environment map together with it...

This paper proposes a Reinforcement Learning (RL)-based control framework for position and attitude control of an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) subjected to significant disturbance that can be associated with an uncertain trigger signal. The proposed method learns the relationship between the trigger signal and disturbance force, enabling the system to anticipate and counteract the impending disturbances before they occur. We train and evaluate three policies: a baseline policy trained without exposure to the disturbance, a reactive policy trained with the disturbance but without the trigger signal, and a predictive policy that incorporates the trigger signal as an observation and is exposed to the disturbance during training. Our simulation results show that the predictive policy outperforms the other policies by minimizing position deviations through a proactive correction maneuver. This work highlights the potential of integrating predictive cues into RL frameworks to improve UAS performance.

The field of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) is swiftly expanding, driven by notable advancements in artificial intelligence (AI). Humanoid robots, now capable of being equipped with advanced AI models, are being considered for a wide array of applications due to their ability to perform complex tasks and interact with humans in both natural and intelligent ways. In the domain of social robotics, the capability to selectively interact with authorized users is crucial for ensuring security and providing personalized user experiences. Unimodal user recognition methods, such as audio-based user recognition, are commonly used in social robots. However, these methods can be susceptible to ambient noise and might exhibit reduced accuracy. Although face recognition modality is often employed to enhance accuracy, the majority of audio-visual person recognition methods are trained on datasets with only a single user in the *** paper introduces a method for audio-visual user recognition with multiple users in the frame, utilizing an additional sound localization modality. The proposed method is evaluated using a dataset created from interactions between the social robot Pepper and multiple users. The results demonstrated that the proposed method significantly outperformed unimodal user recognition methods.

This paper examines the possibility of using low-cost commercial off-the-shelf audio recording equipment in combination with machine learning techniques to discover the presence of hostile UAVs. A convolutional neural network (CNN) was trained to detect and localize two types of quadrotor drones using ground truth position data collected with motion capture equipment. System performance was evaluated on pre-recorded validation data sets and in realtime operation. In both cases, drones can be successfully detected and localized within the constrained working volumes studied, achieving angular accuracies in the 8–13° range. However, further work remains to be done before system feasibility in outdoor conditions can be established.
