Item Benchmarking Bipedal Locomotion: A Unified Scheme for Humanoids, Wearable Robots, and Humans: A Unified Scheme for Humanoids, Wearable Robots, and Humans(2015-09-10) Torricelli, Diego; Gonzalez-Vargas, Jose; Veneman, Jan F.; Mombaur, Katja; Tsagarakis, Nikos; del-Ama, Antonio J.; Gil-Agudo, Angel; Moreno, Juan C.; Pons, Jose L.; Tecnalia Research & InnovationIn the field of robotics, there is a growing awareness of the importance of benchmarking [1], [2]. Benchmarking not only allows the assessment and comparison of the performance of different technologies but also defines and supports the standardization and regulation processes during their introduction to the market. Its importance has been recently emphasized by the adoption of the technology readiness levels (TRLs) in the Horizon 2020 information and communication technologies by the European Union as an important guideline to assess when a technology can shift from one TRL to the other. The objective of this article is to define the basis of a benchmarking scheme for the assessment of bipedal locomotion that could be applied and shared across different research communities.Item Digital Innovation Hubs in Health-Care Robotics Fighting COVID-19: Novel Support for Patients and Health-Care Workers Across Europe: Novel Support for Patients and Health-Care Workers across Europe(2021-03) Jovanovic, Kosta; Schwier, Andrea; Matheson, Eloise; Xiloyannis, Michele; Rozeboom, Esther; Hochhausen, Nadine; Vermeulen, Brecht; Graf, Birgit; Wolf, Peter; Nawrat, Zbigniew; Escuder, Jordi; Mechelinck, Mare; Sorensen, Birgitte; Boscolo, Paola Roberta; Obach, Michael; Tognarelli, Selene; Jankovic, Milica; Leroux, Christophe; Ferrigno, Giancarlo; Siepel, Francoise J; Stramigioli, Stefano; Tecnalia Research & Innovation; Medical TechnologiesThe use of robotics in health care has seen a recent rise in interest due to its potential for use during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The transmission rate of COVID-19 has meant that health-care workers are under increasing pressure, risks, and workload to manage the requirements of personal protective equipment, strict disinfection procedures, and the heightened medical needs of patients.Item A Review of Sensor Technologies for Perception in Automated Driving(2019-09-23) Marti, Enrique David; de Miguel, Miguel Angel; Garcia, Fernando; Perez, Joshue; Tecnalia Research & Innovation; CCAMAfter more than 20 years of research, ADAS are common in modern vehicles available in the market. Automated Driving systems, still in research phase and limited in their capabilities, are starting early commercial tests in public roads. These systems rely on the information provided by on-board sensors, which allow to describe the state of the vehicle, its environment and other actors. Selection and arrangement of sensors represent a key factor in the design of the system. This survey reviews existing, novel and upcoming sensor technologies, applied to common perception tasks for ADAS and Automated Driving. They are put in context making a historical review of the most relevant demonstrations on Automated Driving, focused on their sensing setup. Finally, the article presents a snapshot of the future challenges for sensing technologies and perception, finishing with an overview of the commercial initiatives and manufacturers alliances that will show future market trends in sensors technologies for Automated Vehicles.
