—In many robotics applications, knowing the material properties around a robot is often critical for the robot’s successful performance. For example, in mobility, knowledge abo...
— We propose a 3D obstacle avoidance method for mobile robots. Besides the robot’s 2D laser range finder, a Timeof-Flight camera is used to perceive obstacles that are not in ...
— There has been significant progress recently in object recognition research, but many of the current approaches still fail for object classes with few distinctive features, an...
Abstract— This paper presents a geometry-based, multilayered synergistic approach to solve motion planning problems for mobile robots involving temporal goals. The temporal goals...
— Robotic systems that can create and use visual maps in realtime have obvious advantages in many applications, from automatic driving to mobile manipulation in the home. In this...
