— A central challenging problem in humanoid robotics is to plan and execute dynamic tasks in dynamic environments. Given that the environment is known, sampling-based online moti...
— This paper describes a compact robot with two magnetic wheels in a bicycle arrangement, which is intended for inspecting the inner casing of pipes with complex shaped structure...
— One primary goal in rescue robotics is to deploy a team of robots for coordinated victim search after a disaster. This requires robots to perform subtasks, such as victim detec...
— For the design of an automated transportation system in an actual seaport container terminal, it is necessary to take into consideration the maintenance of operating robots (AG...
— We present an approach to motion planning for highly articulated systems that aims to ensure robust execution by augmenting the planning process to reason about the robot’s a...

Abstract— In this paper, we present an optimization framework for target tracking with mobile robot teams. The target tracking problem is modeled as a generic semidefinite progr...
— This paper addresses the problem of selecting contact locations for grasping objects in the presence of shape and contact location uncertainty. Focusing on two-dimensional plan...
— We propose Computational Sensor Networks as a methodology to exploit models of physical phenomena in order to better understand the structure of the sensor network. To do so, i...

— In this paper, we introduce a modified Kalman filter that can perform robust, real-time outlier detection in the observations, without the need for parameter tuning. Robotic ...
Abstract— We present the Binocular Sparse Feature Segmentation (BSFS) algorithm for vision-based person following with a mobile robot. BSFS uses Lucas-Kanade feature detection an...
