Advances on Affordable Hardware Platforms for Human Demonstration Acquisition in Agricultural Applications
This paper presents advances on the Universal Manipulation Interface (UMI) , a low-cost hand-held gripper for robot Learning from Demonstration (LfD), for complex in-the-wild scenarios found in agri- cultural settings. […]
AgRibot’s First Plenary Meeting in Denmark
The AgRibot team bought the sunny weather to Copenhagen for two packed days of collaboration, planning, and a few well-deserved coffee breaks. From infrastructure to field robots, and from AR headsets to pilot testing, we covered a lot of ground—literally and figuratively. Here’s a quick recap of what went down.
