– Many untethered mobile robots require an operator’s vision and intelligence for guidance and navigation. Animals and insects, however, use sensory systems such as hearing, an...

— Proposed new actuation mechanism realizes active or semi-active mobility for flexible long cables such as fiberscopes and scope cameras. A ciliary vibration mechanism was dev...
— This paper addresses the multiple tasks performing issues for redundant nonholonomic mobile manipulators. An extended gradient projection redundancy resolution scheme is propos...
— Image segmentation is a critical task in computer vision. In the context of motion detection, a very popular segmentation approach is background substraction which consists in ...
Abstract— This article presents an efficient and mature visionbased navigation algorithm based on a sensory-motor learning. Neither Cartesian nor topological map is required, bu...

— This paper presents an analysis of the extended Kalman filter formulation of simultaneous localisation and mapping (EKF-SLAM). We show that the algorithm produces very optimis...
Abstract— In this paper, the Independence Relative Map algorithm is presented. The algorithm aims to achieve the independence of relative map states. We show that using dependent...
