Abstract. The paper describes an evolutionary algorithm for the general nonlinear programming problem using a surrogate model. Surrogate models are used in optimization when model ...
- The thumb is essential to the hand’s function in grasping and manipulating objects. Previous anthropomorphic robot hands have thumbs that are biologically-inspired but kinemati...
Developing an efficient object localization system for complicated industrial objects is an important, yet difficult robotic task. To tackle this problem, we have developed a syst...
In this paper, we present an object contour tracking approach using graph cuts based active contours (GCBAC). Our proposed algorithm does not need any a priori global shape model,...
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to extracting rheological properties of deformable objects based on Haptic vision, which was proposed for vision-based automatic constru...
