Video Friday: Robot Dance Teacher, Transformer Drone, and Pneumatic Reel Actuator

The week is almost over, and so is the 2017 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) in Singapore. We hope you've been enjoying our coverage, which has featured aquatic drones, stone-stacking manipulators, and self-folding soft robots. We'll have lots more from the conference over the next few weeks, but for you impatient types, we're cramming Video Friday this week with a special selection of ICRA videos. We tried to include videos from many different subareas of robotics: control, vision, locomotion, machine learning, aerial vehicles, humanoids, actuators, manipulation, and human-robot interaction. We're posting the abstracts along with the videos, but if you have any questions about these projects, let us know and we'll get more details from the authors. Have a great weekend everyone! This letter presents a physical human–robot interaction scenario in which a robot guides and performs the role of a teacher within a defined dance training framework.
