— Robots perceiving its environment using cameras usually need a good representation of how the camera is aligned to the body and how the camera is rotated relative to the ground...
Abstract— The unstructured nature of cross-country environments poses a great deal of challenges to obstacle detection algorithms. This paper presents an algorithm able to perfor...
— This paper is concerned with the use of a spherical projection model to design optimal visual features for visual servoing. Here two special targets are considered: a sphere ma...
—This paper discusses human weight perception using a haptic device. The objective of this study is to reveal the characteristics in human force sensations, which are difficult t...
