Abstract— Robust vision-based grasping is still a hard problem for humanoid robot systems. When being restricted to using the camera system built-in into the robot’s head for o...
— Robot assisted heart surgery allows surgeons to operate on a heart while it is still beating as if it had been stopped. The robot actively cancels heart motion by closely follo...

— In applications such as space and surgical robotics, the use of thin, lightweight manipulators and cable-driven endeffectors results in flexibility of the manipulator. In bila...
— Robots’ interaction with humans raises new issues for geometrical reasoning where the humans must be taken explicitly into account. We claim that a human-aware motion system ...

— Many factors such as size, power, and weight constrain the design of modular snake robots. Meeting these constraints requires implementing a complex mechanical and electrical a...

— In this paper we build an imitation learning algorithm for a humanoid robot on top of a general world model provided by learned object affordances. We consider that the robot h...
— One might expect that after nearly 50 years of research in robot manipulation and mobile robotics the architectural design of robot systems has converged to a small set of best...
— The purpose of evaluation procedures is to achieve both qualitative and quantitative statements on haptic rendering realism and performance. Since a haptic interface provides a...
