—The aim of this paper is to enable a programmer to easily employ external sensors for flexible robot manipulation. We describe a general approach to determine the relation betwe...
— Legged robots represent great promise for transport in unstructured environments. However, it has been difficult to devise motion planning strategies that achieve a combinatio...
— This paper proposes a piercing based grasping by using the self-tightening effect of objects with elasticity. We suppose a piercing hand with palm where the piercing motion by ...
Abstract— In this paper we consider the problem of sensorimotor coordination in a Bayesian framework. To this end we introduce a novel kind of Dynamic Bayesian Network serving as...

— In this paper, a high-speed range image sensor using a multi-spot laser projector is constructed. Several highspeed range image sensors have been developed recently. Their samp...
— In this paper, we describe the components of a novel algorithm for the extraction of dominant orthogonal planar structures from monocular images taken in indoor environments. T...
— Gait recognition has recently gained attention as an effective approach to identify individuals at a distance from a camera. Most existing gait recognition algorithms assume th...
Abstract— In this paper, we analyze and compare five imagebased visual servoing control laws. Three of them are classical while two new ones are proposed. The first new control...
— The hardware and control concept of a mobile haptic interface is presented. It is intended to provide spatially unrestricted, dual-handed haptic interaction. The device is comp...
