Abstract— To perform successful manipulation, robots depend on information about objects in their environment. In unstructured environments, such information cannot be given to t...
Abstract— This paper presents a novel approach to mapping for mobile robots that exploits user interaction to semiautonomously create a labelled map of the environment. The robot...
— Interaction of a robot with dynamic environments would require continuous adaptation of force and impedance, which is generally not available in current robot systems. In contr...
In this article we proposed an improved SIFT-based object recognition methodology for robot applications. This methodology is employed for implementing a robot-head detection syste...
This paper reports on the results of a long-term experiment in which a social robot’s facial expressions were changed to reflect different moods. While the facial changes in e...
