  Autonomous human-robot proxemics: socially aware navigation based on interaction potential
Mead R., Matarić M. Autonomous Robots 41(5): 1189-1201, 2017.  Type: Article

When humans interact, the interaction partners are expected to respect culture-defined interaction spaces, ranging from intimate over personal and social to public space. Social robots that interact with humans should be aware of these...

  Robust grasping under object pose uncertainty
Hsiao K., Kaelbling L., Lozano-Pérez T. Autonomous Robots 31(2-3): 253-268, 2011.  Type: Article

The apparently simple act of moving a robot manipulator so as to grasp a target object can involve many complex issues, particularly when the position of the object is imperfectly known....

  Data-driven grasping
Goldfeder C., Allen P. Autonomous Robots 31(1): 1-20, 2011.  Type: Article

Grasping for autonomous robots has been attracting a lot of interest. In data-driven grasping, the grasping position of a new object derives from a large and available knowledge of objects with associated grasping information. The meth...

  Spectral registration of noisy sonar data for underwater 3D mapping
Bülow H., Birk A. Autonomous Robots 30(3): 307-331, 2011.  Type: Article

In mapping, it is important to register two maps, that is, to find a shift and a 3D rotation after which the parts of the maps that describe the overlapping region match. In contrast to satellite and biomedical imaging, sonar and other...

  Multi-robot deployment and coordination with embedded graph grammars
Smith B., Howard A., McNew J., Wang J., Egerstedt M. Autonomous Robots 26(1): 79-98, 2009.  Type: Article

Multiagent robotic networks constitute a way to sense an environment and report data from it using robotic technology; that is, we can use a team of robots covering a location, in order to analyze and obtain data from this environment....

  Building robot systems to interact with people in real environments
Maxwell B. Autonomous Robots 22(4): 353-367, 2007.  Type: Article

Interacting with people poses a unique challenge for robots. For this reason, the American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) robot competition has encouraged the development of robots that interact with people through comp...

  Behavioral overlays for non-verbal communication expression on a humanoid robot
Brooks A., Arkin R. Autonomous Robots 22(1): 55-74, 2007.  Type: Article

Human-robot interaction is being enhanced by the development and implementation of nonverbal communication display, or body language, for humanoid robots. This is achieved by building novel behavioral overlay mechanisms that will map t...

  Design of the ATRON lattice-based self-reconfigurable robot
Østergaard E., Kassow K., Beck R., Lund H. Autonomous Robots 21(2): 165-183, 2006.  Type: Article

Can you build a modular robot that configures itself to other shapes? And if you do, how rapidly does the complexity of the modules making up the robot increase? This survey paper covers a variety of attempts to answer those questions,...

  Analysis of creeping locomotion of a snake-like robot on a slope
Ma S., Tadokoro N. Autonomous Robots 20(1): 15-23, 2006.  Type: Article

Ma and Tadokoro present an interesting analysis of creeping locomotion of a snake-like robot on a slope. They created a model of snake-like robot kinematics and dynamics, in order to investigate the interaction of such robots with the ...

  Formation planning and control of UGVs with trailers
Hao Y., Agrawal S. Autonomous Robots 19(3): 257-270, 2005.  Type: Article

Hao and Agrawal present an interesting framework for the planning and control of formations of multiple unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) with trailers to traverse between goal points in an idealized, disturbance-free environment. Accord...
