Domestic and real world robotics requires continuous learning of new skills and behaviors to interact with humans. Auto-supervised learning, a compromise between supervised and co...
— For precise control of robots along paths which are sensed online it is of fundamental importance to have a calibrated system. In addition to the identification of the sensor ...
— The work presented in this paper addresses the problem of the stitching task in laparoscopic surgery using a circular needle and a conventional 4 DOFs needle-holder. This task ...

— This paper proposes a control scheme dedicated to underactuated fingers with the intention of maximizing the capabilities of the latter using tactile and position information ...
— This paper proposes a necessary and sufficient condition for parallel grasps. We extend the use of this condition to the task of regrasp planning. In particular, we propose a ...
— In this paper, we describe the real-time and precise self collision detection system that does not reduce the number of polygons and checks more than 100 collision pairs in rea...
— This paper presents a robust model-based visual tracking algorithm that can give accurate 3D pose of a rigid object. Our tracking algorithm uses an incremental pose update sche...

— This paper addresses the problem of testing whether three contact points form a 3-fingered force-closure grasp in two dimensions. In particular, assuming frictional point cont...
— We propose a new method of tactile sensing for a fingertip of robotic hand. Using a simple fingertip with soft surface cover and a six-axis force/torque sensor, developed is ...
Abstract— In this paper, we consider the task of repositioning a formation of robots to a new shape while minimizing either the maximum distance that any robot travels, or the to...
