People detection and tracking is a key issue for social robot design and effective human robot interaction. This paper addresses the problem of detecting people with a mobile robo...
We present an approach for creating conceptual representations of human-made indoor environments using mobile robots. The concepts refer to spatial and functional properties of ty...
Abstract. This paper presents a method for estimating the orientation of planar text surfaces using the edge-direction distribution (EDD) extracted from the image as input to a neu...
— Vision is one of the most powerful sensory modalities in robotics, allowing operation in dynamic environments. One of our long-term research interests is mobile manipulation, w...
— We address in this paper the problem of the autonomous online learning of a sensory-motor task, demonstrated by an operator guiding the robot. For the last decade, we have deve...
