— A room is a simple polygon with a prespecified point, called the door, on its boundary. Search starts at the door, and must detect any intruder that may be in the room, while ...
- In this paper, we present a novel technique for calibrating central omnidirectional cameras. The proposed procedure is very fast and completely automatic, as the user is only ask...

- Metabolic studies have shown that there is a metabolic cost associated with carrying load [1]. In previous work, a lightweight, underactuated exoskeleton has been described that ...
This work is about the relevance of Gibson’s concept of affordances [1] for visual perception in interactive and autonomous robotic systems. In extension to existing functional ...

Abstract— This article presents the development of a humanrobot interaction mechanism based on vision. The functionalities required for such mechanism range from user detection a...
- In this paper, we seek to understand how leg muscles and tendons work mechanically during walking in order to motivate the design of efficient robotic legs. We hypothesize that a...
— A “Discretely Actuated Robotic Manipulator”, or “D-ARM”, is any member of a class of robotic manipulators powered by actuators that have only discrete positional stable...
Abstract— This paper presents a novel application of modular robotic technology. Many researchers expect manufacturing technology will allow robot modules to be built at smaller ...
