We present a novel box depalletizing system based on images acquired with a time of flight laser sensor mounted on the hand of the robot. Scanning the upper layer of the pallet y...
A master-slave type remote ultrasound diagnostic system was developed. The controller has impedance control capability for the master and slave manipulators' positions. And it...
We present a new algorithm that enables a convex shaped robot to explore an unknown planar workspace, i.e., an unknown configuration space diffeomorphic to SE(2). This new algor...
In this paper simultaneous localization and map building is performed with a hybrid, metric - topological, approach. A global topological map connects local metric maps, allowing ...
