We have recently been working on an assistive robot for the Visually Impaired with first experiments ongoing on the Ostfalia campus. See the video below:

Our paper S. Kachavarapu, T. Doernbach, T. Gerndt: Fast-Revisit Coverage Path Planning for Autonomous Mobile Patrol Robots Using Long-Range Sensor Information (https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.07343) has been presented successfully by Srini on the IROS 2025 conference!

The accompanying code repository is available here: https://github.com/hcr-lab/FaRe-CPP

Our recent paper Remote vs. Presence Laboratories in Human-Robot Interaction with Social Robots: A Study on Task Performance (https://www.springerprofessional.de/social-robotics-ai/51859146) with Chris Peters as lead author has been nominated as Best Paper Award Finalist on the 2025 International Conference on Social Robotics + AI!

We just released a new version of Node-(RED)² that includes support for the Temi and Sawyer robots. This allows you to build your own scenarios for heterogeneous social robots.

We are going to host a workshop at the RO-MAN 2025 conference titled Efficient Visual Programming of Multi-Robot Behavior for Untrained Users – VisProgMR. View the details here: https://visprogmr2025.hce-hub.de/ – see you at RO-MAN!
