— Most robotic vision algorithms are proposed by envisaging robots operating in structured environments where the world is assumed to be rigid. These algorithms fail to provide o...
We describe a novel method whereby a particle filter is used to create a potential field for robot control without prior clustering. We show an application of this technique to ...
Interactive animation systems often use a level-of-detail (LOD) control to reduce the computational cost by eliminating unperceivable details of the scene. Most methods employ a m...
Robust execution of robotic tasks is a difficult problem. In many situations, these tasks involve complex behaviors combining different functionalities (e.g. perception, localizat...
We present motion planning for dexterous manipulation by whole arm grasp system based on switching contact modes. Motion planning for such a system should consider changing dynami...
