Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) constrains instrument motions to 4 DOF by precluding lateral motion at the incision. Robotic MIS systems can interpose arbitrary mappings between ...
— In this paper, we present an image-based robot incremental localization algorithm which uses a panoramic image-based map enhanced with depth from a laser range finder. The ima...
Natural and friendly interface is critical for the development of service robots. Gesture-based interface offers a way to enable untrained users to interact with robots more easil...
This paper presents the minimum-time sequences of rotations and translations that connect two configurations of a rigid body in the plane. The configuration of the body is its pos...
—We study the problem of actively searching for an object in a 3D environment under the constraint of a maximum search time, using a visually guided humanoid robot with twentysix...
