Abstract-- This paper presents a method to associate meanings to words in manipulation tasks. We base our model on an affordance network, i.e., a mapping between robot actions, rob...
The ability to combine tactile, on-the-skin, sensory cues with the kinesthetic ones that widely available force-feedback devices are able to produce is a desirable one, opening th...
The development and expression of many higher level cognitive functions, such as imitation, spatial perception, and tool-use relies on a multi-modal representation of the body kno...
Abstract. Many applications of 3D object recognition, such as augmented reality or robotic manipulation, require an accurate solution for the 3D pose of the recognized objects. Thi...
