Abstract— This paper describes a method for removing adherent noises from image sequences. In outdoor environments, it is often the case that scenes taken by a camera are deterio...
Abstract— Teams of mobile robots have been recently proposed as effective means of completing complex missions involving multiple tasks spatially distributed over a large area. A...

— We present a learning mechanism, Socially Guided Exploration, in which a robot learns new tasks through a combination of self-exploration and social interaction. The system’s...
—Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) is one of the major challenges in mobile robotics. Probabilistic techniques using high-end range finding devices are well establishe...
— As part of a program to find methods of reducing spatial interference in multi-robot systems, we propose the Interaction Grid (IG), a generalization of the Occupancy Grid that...
— In this paper a new decoupled imaged-based control scheme is proposed from projection onto a unit sphere. This control scheme is based on moment invariants to 3D rotational mot...
— The time domain passivity framework is attracting interest as a method for granting stability in both telerobotics and haptic contexts; this paper employs this approach in orde...
— We describe the dynamic testing and control results obtained with an exoskeletal robot finger with embedded fiber optical sensors. The finger is inspired by the designs of a...
