— We present a robust strategy for docking a mobile robot in close proximity with an upright surface using optical flow field divergence. Unlike previous approaches, we achieve...
Abstract— Temporal classification, such as activity recognition, is a key component for creating intelligent robot systems. In the case of robots, classification algorithms mus...
