—This paper presents a new method for extracting object edges from range images obtained by a 3D range imaging sensor⎯the SwissRanger SR-3000. In range image preprocessing stag...
— A great challange in robotics is to make robots more like humans. One important aspect is to make robots move like humans and recognize their motions. Both tasks are based on h...
— We introduce a method based on support vector machines which can detect opening and closing actions of the human thumb, index finger, and other fingers recorded via surface E...
— Pretouch sensing is longer range than contact, but shorter range than vision. The hypothesis motivating this work is that closed loop feedback based on short range but nonconta...
In this paper, a novel artificial potential function is proposed for planning the path of a robotic sensor in a partially observed environment containing multiple obstacles and mul...
