— Auditory capabilities would allow small robots interacting with people to act according to vocal cues. In our recent work, we have demonstrated AUDIBLE, an auditory system capa...
— This study describes a method of estimating the intrinsic parameters of a perspective camera. In previous calibration methods for perspective cameras, the intrinsic and extrins...
Abstract— We study optimal trajectory generation for nonholonomic mobile robots in the presence of moving obstacles. The trajectory is presented by a parameterized higher-order p...
— We propose an inverse agreement control strategy for multiple nonholonomic agents that forces the team members to disperse in the workspace in a distributed manner. Both the ca...
— Integrating information coming from different sensors is a fundamental capability for autonomous robots. For complex tasks like topological localization, it would be desirable ...
— Novel tools are needed to deploy multi-agent networks in applications that require a high degree of accuracy in the achievement and maintenance of geometric formations. This is...

Abstract— This paper describes a probabilistic bail-out condition for multihypothesis testing based on Bennett’s inequality. We investigate the use of the test for increasing t...
— We are interested in transferring control policies for arbitrary tasks from a human to a robot. Using interactive demonstration via teloperation as our transfer scenario, we ca...
Abstract— Self-assembly is a process through which an organized structure can spontaneously form from simple parts. Taking inspiration from biological examples of self-assembly, ...
— Simulation is frequently used in the study of multi-agent systems. Unfortunately, in many cases, it is not necessarily clear how faithfully the details of the simulated model r...
