— The ability of building maps of environments where they operate is one of the main requirements for autonomous mobile robots. An efficient map building process is based on a g...
— For a mobile robot that interacts with humans such as a home assistant or a tour guide robot, tracking a particular person among multiple persons is a fundamental, yet challeng...
— How to teach actions to a robot as well as how a robot learns actions is an important issue to be discussed in designing robot learning systems. Inspired by human parentinfant ...
— Object recognition is a challenging problem for artificial systems. This is especially true for objects that are placed in cluttered and uncontrolled environments. To challenge...
Abstract— We report our algorithmic development of the pframe problem that addresses the need of coordinating a set of p networked robotic pan-tilt-zoom cameras for n, (n > p)...

— This paper describes the design of a gravity balanced spatial orthosis. Previous works introduced planar mechanisms only and neglected friction. They relied on counterweight or...
— This paper presents a parallel algorithm of the Level Set Method named the Parallel Fast Level Set Method, and its application for real-time 3D reconstruction of human shape an...
— Recent years have seen an explosion of research on the computational modeling of human visual attention in task free conditions, i.e., given an image predict where humans are l...
