— Mobile robots operating in populated environments typically can improve their service and navigation behavior when they know where people are in their vicinity and in which dir...
We address the problem of detecting and tracking people with a mobile robot. The need for following a person with a mobile robot arises in many different service robotic applicati...
In robotics, the idea of human and robot interaction is receiving a lot of attention lately. In this paper, we describe a multi-modal system for generating a map of the environment...
We address visual perception for personal service robotic systems in the home. We start by identifying the main functional modules and their relationships. This includes self-loca...
Service robotics is currently a pivotal research area in robotics, with enormous societal potential. Since service robots directly interact with people, nding natural" and ea...
