Our Biomimic Cobots research program have had a great couple of days at the 2023 Australasian Conference for Robotics & Automation) cohosted by UNSW and UTS Robotics Institute.
Our Centre’s researchers were involved in four papers accepted at the conference:
- Development of an Autonomous Mobile Cobotic Platform for Targeted Herbicide Dispersion, authored by Swinburne University of Technology‘s Kartik Choudhary, Jagannatha Charjee Pyaraka, and Mats Isaksson
- A Robotic System For Imitating Human Percussionists, authored by Fouad (Fred) Sukkar (University of Technology Sydney); Richard Savery (Macquarie University); and Nadimul Haque, Cédric LE GENTIL, Raphael Falque, and Teresa Vidal Calleja (University of Technology Sydney)
- Towards Recycling E-Waste Using Vision and Robotic Manipulation, authored by Philipp Kranz , Usama Ali , Adrian Müller, Maximilian Hornauer, Martin Löser, Fouad (Fred) Sukkar, Volker Willert, Dr Tobias Kaupp (Technical University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt (THWS))
- Dynamic Object Detection in Range data using Spatiotemporal Normals, authored by Raphael Falque, Cédric LE GENTIL, and Fouad (Fred) Sukkar (University of Technology Sydney)
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Dr Fouad (Fred) Sukkar also chaired the Machine Vision session.
