Abstract— Perceiving human faces is one of the most important functions for human robot interaction. The active appearance model (AAM) is a statistical approach that models the s...
— This paper presents a vision based method for grasp classification. It is developed as part of a Programming by Demonstration (PbD) system for which recognition of objects and...
Abstract— Service robots which directly interact with humans in highly unstructured, unpredictable and dynamic environments must be able to flexibly adapt their motion in reacti...
— The paper describes a navigation algorithm for dynamic, uncertain environment. Moving obstacles are supposed to move on typical patterns which are pre-learned and are represent...

— In robotics, vertical lines have been always very useful for autonomous robot localization and navigation in structured environments. This paper presents a robust method for ma...
Abstract— In this paper, we present a framework that enables an operator to haptically and visually interact with a dynamic simulation subject to virtual holonomic constraints. T...
— Vehicle following can be achieved by minimizing the relative information (Kullback-Leibler or K-L distance), between the estimated poses of leader and follower vehicles by form...
