Popularization

• Due to the visibility of our experimental platforms, the team is often requested to present its research activities to students, researchers or industry. Our panel of demonstrations allows us to highlight recent results concerning the positioning of an ultrasound probe by visual servoing, grasping and dual arm manipulation by Romeo, vision-based shared control using our haptic device for object manipulation, the control of a fleet of quadrotors, vision-based detection and tracking for space navigation in a rendezvous context, the semi-autonomous navigation of a wheelchair, and augmented reality applications. Some of these demonstrations are available as videos on VispTeam YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/VispTeam/videos).

• In October Firas Abi Farraj, Marco Aggravi, Claudio Pacchierotti and Fabien Spindler attended to the “Maker Fair” even in Rome (https://2018.makerfairerome.eu/it/) presenting various vision-based and shared control robotic demonstrations with Viper and Franka arms and haptic devices.
