— In this paper, we describe a new approach for the extrinsic calibration of a camera with a 3D laser range finder, that can be done on the fly. This approach does not require an...
— We present a robot localization system using biologically-inspired vision. Our system models two extensively studied human visual capabilities: (1) extracting the “gist” of...
— In this paper, we present a novel approach for sensor-guided robotic execution of everyday tasks, which is amenable to be integrated in current mobile manipulators and humanoid...

Abstract— Existing penalty-based haptic rendering approaches compute penetration depth in strictly translational sense and cannot properly take object rotation into account. We a...
Abstract— This paper proposes a global asymptotic stabilizing control law for a quad-rotor helicopter with bounded inputs. The proposed control design exploits the technique base...
Abstract— Distributed coordination is critical for a multirobot system in hazardous waste cleanup under a dynamic environment. To achieve higher efficiency as well as robustness,...
— Complex, autonomous robots integrate a large set of sometimes very diverse algorithms across at least three levels of system organization: the agent architecture, the implement...

— Intention recognition is an important topic in human-robot cooperation that can be tackled using probabilistic model-based methods. A popular instance of such methods are Bayes...

Abstract— We propose a novel control method for lowerlimb assist that produces a virtual modification of the mechanical impedance of the human limbs. This effect is accomplished...
