This paper introduces our one-armed stationary humanoid robot GripSee together with research projects carried out on this platform. The major goal is to have it analyze a table sce...
— Pretouch sensing is longer range than contact, but shorter range than vision. The hypothesis motivating this work is that closed loop feedback based on short range but nonconta...
In this paper, we propose a method that generates grasping actions for novel objects based on visual input from a stereo camera. We are integrating two methods that are advantageou...
— In this paper, we address the problem of automatic grasp generation for robotic hands where experience and shape primitives are used in synergy so to provide a basis not only f...
The development and expression of many higher level cognitive functions, such as imitation, spatial perception, and tool-use relies on a multi-modal representation of the body kno...
