— In this paper we describe an approach to feature representation for simultaneous localization and mapping, SLAM. It is a general representation for features that addresses symm...

— Moments are generic (and usually intuitive) descriptors that can be computed from several kinds of objects defined either from closed contours or from a set of points. In this...
— This paper presents an operational space control approach for the general class of holonomically constrained multibody systems. As a point of departure, the general formulation...
— In this paper we address the problem of generating a motion strategy to find an object in a known 3-D environment as quickly as possible on average. We use a sampling scheme t...

Abstract— This paper introduces a novel approach to representing and learning tool affordances by a robot. The tool representation described here uses a behavior-based approach t...
— In this paper a novel formalism to characterize contact states between an articulated polyhedral object and a polyhedral environment for the generation of the graph of feasible...
Abstract— In this paper we consider the problem of simultaneously localizing all members of a team of robots. Each robot is equipped with proprioceptive sensors and exteroceptive...

— Active contours have been widely used as image segmentation methods. The use of level set theory has provided more flexibility and convenience for the implementation of active...
— Repetitive manual handling of heavy loads is common in assembly and is a frequent cause of lower back disorders. This can have a significant impact on the quality of life and ...
