The evolution of production systems has established major challenges in internal logistics.
In order to overcome these challenges, new automation solutions have been developed and …

Within the next decades, robots will need to be able to execute a large variety of tasks
autonomously in a large variety of environments. To relax the resulting programming effort, a …

Designing controllers for tasks with complex nonlinear dynamics is extremely challenging,
time-consuming, and in many cases, infeasible. This difficulty is exacerbated in tasks such …

In this paper we present KnowRob2, a second generation knowledge representation and
reasoning framework for robotic agents. KnowRob2 is an extension and partial redesign of …

It is important for a robot to be able to interpret natural language commands given by a
human. In this paper, we consider performing a sequence of mobile manipulation tasks with …

Within the realm of service robotics, researchers have placed a great amount of effort into
learning, understanding, and representing motions as manipulations for task execution by …

Abstract We present Vision-based Navigation with Language-based Assistance (VNLA), a
grounded vision-language task where an agent with visual perception is guided via …

We present a novel method for aligning a sequence of instructions to a video of someone
carrying out a task. In particular, we focus on the cooking domain, where the instructions …

We focus on modeling human activities comprising multiple actions in a completely
unsupervised setting. Our model learns the high-level action co-occurrence and temporal …

Despite the enormous progress and generalization in robotic grasping in recent years,
existing methods have yet to scale and generalize task-oriented grasping to the same …
