Details on the Meeting Notes

TOP 1: Update on the Leoben Team progress by Elmar

Fotis and Vedant’s paper was accepted at ICRA 2024:

Dave*, Vedant; Lygerakis*, Fotios; Rueckert, Elmar. Multimodal Visual-Tactile Representation Learning through Self-Supervised Contrastive Pre-Training. In: IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA 2024)., 2024, (* equal contribution).

Niko submitted two papers to UR2024 on interactive robot learning. Currently, Niko is working on adapting his algorithm to more complex (>6 degrees of freedom) policies for real-time real robot learning.

With 1st of April, a a senior researcher is starting at CPS. In October, the chair will move into a new building – “Das Haus der Digitalisierung”. An invitation for the opening ceremony will be sent to all partner.

TOP 2: Update on the Erlangen Team progress by Philipp

Ege: No changes wrt. the schedule. Ege is working on the experimental protocol. Adna: still working on her evaluations. The submission is planed for early April. HiWi: is working on haptic feedback for the wire-maze real robot experiments with Ege. This is planned to be finished by end of March. 10 people will be doing the experiment.

Ege: Shared autonomy is an ongoing activity by Ege. Main issue or challenge is the generalizations.

Philipp: Another paper on effective touch is work in progress, it is a side project of Ege.
