Appearance-based methods, based on statistical models of the pixel values in an image (region) rather than geometrical object models, are increasingly popular in computer vision. I...
The robot hand applying force on a deformable object will result in a changing wrench space due to the varying shape and normal of the contact area. Design and analysis of a manipu...
Abstract. A mobile robot that interacts with its environment needs a machineunderstandable representation of objects and their usages. We present an ontology of objects, with gener...
