Detection of multiple people is a key element for social robot design and it is a requirement for effective human-robot interaction. However, it is not an easy task, especially in...
— This work addresses the task of designing the optimal survey route that an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) should take in mine countermeasures (MCM) operations. It is assum...
Abstract— Trajectory planning and optimization is a fundamental problem in articulated robotics. It is often viewed as a two phase problem of initial feasible path planning aroun...
— Passively adaptive and underactuated robotic hands have shown the potential to achieve reliable grasping in unstructured environments without expensive mechanisms or sensors. I...
Abstract In this article, we present a component-based visual tracker for mobile platforms with an application to person tracking. The core of the technique is a componentbased des...
