— Motion and sensor models are crucial components in current algorithms for mobile robot localization and mapping. These models are typically provided and hand-tuned by a human o...
— Several recently-designed robots are able to scale steep surfaces using animal-inspired strategies for foot attachment and leg kinematics. These designs could be valuable for r...

— We consider a collection of robots sharing a common environment, each robot constrained to move on a roadmap in its configuration space. To program optimal collision-free moti...
— In order for a mobile robot to accurately interpret its sensations and predict the effects of its actions, it must have accurate models of its sensors and actuators. These mode...
— We present an easy-to-use calibration method for MEMS inertial sensor units based on the Factorization method which was originally invented for shape-and-motion recovery in com...
— This paper discusses the grasp planning of a multifingered hand attached at the tip of a robotic arm. By using the convex models and the new approximation method of the fricti...
Abstract— This work presents a multimodal bottom-up attention system for the humanoid robot iCub where the robot’s decisions to move eyes and neck are based on visual and acous...

— A key problem in deploying sensor networks in real-world applications is that of mapping, i.e. determining the location of each sensor such that subsequent tasks such as tracki...
