: Safety is now a major concern in many complex systems such as medical robots. A way to control the complexity of such systems is to manage risk. The first and important step of t...
This paper discusses the application of robotic technologies to an evacuation assistance task. We describe how this kind of task differs from the more prevalent search and rescue ...
A fundamental task in computer vision is that of determining the position and orientation of a moving camera relative to an observed object or scene. Many such visual tracking alg...
— Vision is one of the most powerful sensory modalities in robotics, allowing operation in dynamic environments. One of our long-term research interests is mobile manipulation, w...
Many future applications of robotic systems will require manipulators to operate from moving vehicles. Such vehicles will be compliant in comparison to the rigid bases on which mo...
