This work focuses on the relative importance of skin stretch imposed on the fingerpad on the perception of friction. Perceptual data is presented from two separate tests. The fi...
This paper presents an appearance–based method to automatically determine places from vision data for topological mapping. The approach exploits the continuity of the visual app...
Information processing within autonomous robots should follow a biomimetic approach. In contrast to traditional approaches that make intensive use of accurate measurements, numeric...
— When the end-effector of a robot is slid on a flat surface, the stiffness matrix obtained by linear fitting of position and force contains information not only on the stiffne...
This paper presents a shading model for volumetric data which enhances the perception of surfaces within the volume. The model incorporates uniform diffuse illumination, which arr...
