It is well known that antipodal grasps can be achieved on curved objects in the presence of friction. This paper presents an efficient algorithm that finds, up to numerical reso...
The core of most registration algorithms aligns scan data by pairs, minimizing their relative distance. This local optimization must generally pass through a validation procedure t...
Abstract. We define a novel, basic, unsupervised learning problem learning the the lowest density homogeneous hyperplane separator of an unknown probability distribution. This task...
An approximate rank revealing factorization problem with structure constraints on the normalized factors is considered. Examples of structure, motivated by an application in micro...
To navigate in unknown environments, mobile robots require the ability to build their own maps. A major problem for robot map building is that odometry-based dead reckoning cannot ...
