— A legged robot walking on uneven terrain can avoid falling only by applying contact forces with its feet on the ground that compensate for gravity without causing slip. To plan...
— This paper describes a visual odometry algorithm for estimating frame-to-frame camera motion from successive stereo image pairs. The algorithm differs from most visual odometry...
Abstract Modern service robots will soon become an essential part of modern society. As they have to move and act in human environments, it is essential for them to be provided wit...
We present a robust, noise-resistant criterion characterizing planelike skeletons in binary voxel objects. It is based on a distance map and the geodesic distance along the object...
