Abstract--For the last decade, we have developed a visionbased architecture for mobile robot navigation. Our bio-inspired model of the navigation has proved to achieve sensory-moto...
In order to deploy mobile robots in social environments like indoor buildings, they need to be provided with perceptual abilities to detect people. In the computer vision literatur...
Learning robot-environment interaction with echo state networks (ESNs) is presented in this paper. ESNs are asked to bootstrap a robot’s control policy from human teacher’s dem...
An algorithm is presented for wheeled mobile robot trajectory generation that achieves a high degree of generality and efficiency. The generality derives from numerical lineariza...
—This paper reports about a human-robot interaction field trial conducted with the autonomous mobile robot ACE (Autonomous City Explorer) in a public place, where the ACE robot ...
