Abstract—Nonverbal behavior during human-human close encounters is critical to the accomplishment of natural interaction. For this reason, humanoid robots trying to achieve natur...
—The field of robotics relies heavily on various technologies such as mechatronics, computing systems, and wireless communication. Given the fast growing technological progress i...
— Precise robot positioning is important for many applications in indoor environments. Current solutions to the indoor localization problem are either both unreliable and inaccur...

— The centroidal momentum of a humanoid robot is the sum of the individual link momenta, after projecting each to the robot’s Center of Mass (CoM). Centroidal momentum is a lin...
— This paper presents an approach to approximate information content for active sensing tasks. The Unscented Transform is used to represent probability distributions by a set of ...
