— An important milestone for building affordable robots that can become widely popular is to address robustly the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) problem with inexpe...
Abstract— This paper describes the design of a robot head, developed in the framework of the RobotCub project. This project goals consists on the design and construction of a hum...
— This paper presents an analysis of FastSLAM— a Rao-Blackwellised particle filter formulation of simultaneous localisation and mapping. It shows that the algorithm degenerate...
– Although below-knee prostheses have been commercially available for some time, today’s devices are completely passive, and consequently, their mechanical properties remain fi...
— In the eyes of many species, the optical nodal points of the cornea and lens do not lie on the axes of rotation of the eye. During eye movements, this lack of alignment produce...
— Positioning a robot with respect to objects by using data provided by a camera is a well known technique called visual servoing. In order to perform a task, the object must exh...
