Abstract
Highly varying production sets increasing challenges for robotic manufacturing and indoor logistics. New capabilities for agility, flexibility, and robustness are needed. Robot skills, integrating motions, tool operations, and sensor perceptions consistently provide an execution mechanism for a versatile set of tasks with varying parameters. In this paper, easy-to-use CAD-model based programming and execution system for parametrized skills and skill monitors is showcased. The execution control structure is dynamic and parametrized, based on a modified Behavior Tree, where only event based communication is used. A human-robot-crane collaborative skill is shown as a test example, where a human instructs an overhead crane and a manipulator in inserting a heavy object supported by the crane, and guided by the manipulator, into the goal.
Robots have significant potential to automate construction processes. However, their industry adoption remains limited, partly because of the programming effort required to adapt robots to diverse tasks. This paper presents a skill sequence planning method that enables a heterogeneous team of multi-functional robots to...

We present a teleoperation system that enables a single operator to perform construction tasks on a Unitree G1 humanoid, combining extended reality (XR) based upper body control with pedal-based locomotion to enable simultaneous manipulation and locomotion. Motivated by persistent labor shortages, hazardous working con...

Multi-robot systems have shown increasing viability in construction due to their ability to execute high-precision actions while reducing human exposure to hazardous tasks. However, these environments have high-dimensional configuration spaces and possess substantial collision-avoidance constraints, which include other...

As robots are increasingly deployed in groups and share workspaces to execute real-world tasks, planning their concurrent motions around complex manipulation skills becomes essential. These skills involve continuous physical execution and may exhibit stochastic behavior, resulting in variable execution times and uncert...

This work demonstrates that a general-purpose agent can directly drive a physical robot throughout task execution without any task-specific or environment-specific training and introduces Agent as Policy (AGP), which places task planning and execution under the agent's control.

There is tremendous value in humanoid robots taking on physically demanding, hazardous, and repetitive work in spaces built for humans. However, a useful robot for these spaces must coordinate locomotion, whole-body motion, perception, contact, and operator supervision. We present a robot-local, runtime-editable behavi...
