— This paper introduces a planning method for handling furniture which exists in real world. We propose a method which is easily expandable its handle able furniture such as clos...
— This paper describes a novel Home Lift, Position, and Rehabilitation (HLPR) Chair, designed at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), to provide independent pat...
— This paper describes an approach to cooperative localization which finds its roots in robust estimation, employing an unknown-but-bounded error model for sensor measurements. ...
— We present a strategy for grasping of real world objects with two anthropomorphic hands, the three-fingered 9DOF hydraulic TUM and the very dextrous 20-DOF pneumatic Bielefeld...
— Two novel methods for computing 3D structure information from video for a piecewise planar scene are presented. The first method is based on a new line constraint, which clear...
— Classic adaptive control methods for handling varying loads rely on an analytically derived model of the robot’s dynamics. However, in many situations, it is not feasible or ...
Automatic speech recognition on a humanoid robot is exposed to numerous known noises produced by the robot’s own motion system and background noises such as fans. Those noises i...
— This paper proposes a novel model which enables a humanoid robot infant to discover other individual (e.g. human parent). In this work, the authors define “other individual...
