— Assisting humans in their daily lives requires robots to be proficient in manual tasks and effective in communicating states/intentions with human users. This paper advocates ...
Autonomous robots, such as robot office couriers, need navigation routines that support flexible task execution and effective action planning. This paper describes XFRMLEARN, a s...
— A planning method for unraveling manipulation of deformable linear objects is proposed. In manipulation of a linear object, its raveling must be avoided. It takes much time to ...
Complexity bounds for algorithms for robotic motion and manipulation can be misleading when they are constructed with pathological `worst-case' scenarios that rarely appear i...
— A major challenge in the path of widespread use of mobile robots is the ability to function autonomously, learning useful features from the environment and using them to adapt ...
