The research community is puzzled with words like skill, action, atomic unit and others when
describing robots' capabilities. However, for giving the possibility to integrate capabilities in …

As moves towards a more agile paradigm, industrial robots are expected to perform more
complex tasks in less structured environments, complicating the use of traditional …

An important issue in medical robotics is communication between physicians and robots.
Speech-based communication is of particular advantage in robot-assisted surgery. It frees …

Constraint-based robot programming allows for implementing sensor-based skills that react
to disturbances on the one hand, and composable skills that dynamically create and …

This paper explores the problem of automated robot program generation from limited
historical data when neither accurate geometric environmental models nor online vision …

Skill-based robot programming has been extensively investigated in robotic manufacturing
systems. Sensor inputs are usually used to determine the correctness of skill execution …
