In practice, understanding the spatial relationships between the surfaces of an object, can significantly improve the performance of object recognition systems. In this paper we p...
Vision feedback control loop techniques are efficient for a great class of applications but they come up against difficulties when the initial and desired positions of the camer...
We study decision-theoretic planning or reinforcement learning in the presence of traps such as steep slopes for outdoor robots or staircases for indoor robots. In this case, achi...
— We present a novel, simple algorithm for mobile robot navigation. Using a teach-replay approach, the robot is manually led along a desired path in a teaching phase, then the ro...
— While robot mapping has seen massive strides , higher level abstractions in map representation are still not widespread. Maps containing semantic concepts such as objects and l...
