Abstract— In this paper we propose an algorithm to determine the location of a vehicle in an environment represented by a stochastic map, given a set of environment measurements ...
— In this paper a robotic catching algorithm based on a nonlinear mapping of visual information to the desired trajectory is proposed. The nonlinear mapping is optimized by learn...
— The goal of this study is a system for a robot to imitate human dances. This paper describes the process to generate whole body motions which can be performed by an actual bipe...
— This paper describes an experimental modular distributed manipulation system upon which one can implement a variety of control schemes. We have shown elsewhere that when one in...

Abstract— This paper introduces a smooth control algorithm for controlling fully actuated distributed manipulation systems that operate by frictional contact. The control law sca...
In this paper, a finishing system with a mounted abrasive tool is proposed for finishing of metallic molds. The shape of the mounted abrasive tool is a ball-end type. When a metal...
This paper describes a robotic walker designed as an assistive device for frail elderly people with cognitive impairment. Locomotion is most often the primary form of exercise for...
—The learning from observation (LFO) paradigm has been widely applied in various types of robot systems. It helps reduce the work of the programmer. However, the applications of ...

— The Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) has been the de facto approach to the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) problem for nearly fifteen years. However, the EKF has two ...
