— It has been demonstrated in a number of robotic areas how the use of virtual fixtures improves task performance both in terms of execution time and overall precision, [1]. How...
Abstract— In this paper, we propose a three-dimensional (3D) measurement method of objects in aquatic environments whose refractive indices or boundary shape of the refraction ar...
— The problem of establishing if it is possible to reach the desired location keeping all features in the field of view and following a straight line is considered. The proposed...

Abstract— Multiple-target tracking is a canonical application of sensor networks as it exhibits different aspects of sensor networks such as event detection, sensor information f...
- This paper is concerned with the derivation of the kinematics model of the University of Tehran-Pole Climbing Robot (UT-PCR). As the first step, an appropriate set of coordinates...
Abstract— The first part of this paper describes the development of a humanoid robot hand based on an endoskeleton made of rigid links connected with elastic hinges, actuated by...

— We address the synthesis of controllers for large groups of robots and sensors, tackling the specific problem of controlling a swarm of robots to generate patterns specified ...
— In this paper, we study the problem of going from a real-world, multi-agent system to the generation of control programs in an automatic fashion. In particular, a computer visi...
