— To grasp a novel object, we can index it into a database of known 3D models and use precomputed grasp data for those models to suggest a new grasp. We refer to this idea as dat...

Abstract— Road network information (RNI) simplifies autonomous driving by providing strong priors about driving environments. Its usefulness has been demonstrated in the DARPA U...
Abstract— This work presents the control of multiple untethered rectilinear magnetic micro-robots (Mag-µBots) with dimensions 250 × 130 × 100 µm3 actuated by pulsed external ...
— This paper presents a novel image based detection method for pedestrians at very small scales (between 16 x 20 and 32 x 40). We propose a set of new distinctive image features ...

— The problem of accurate 6-DoF pose estimation of 3D objects based on their shape has so far been solved only for specific object geometries. Edge-based recognition and trackin...
— This paper discusses the mechanical kinematics solutions and design aspects of the biped robot SHERPA, a bipedal platform able to walk and carry load. Starting from the analysi...
— Gas distribution modelling constitutes an ideal application area for mobile robots, which – as intelligent mobile gas sensors – offer several advantages compared to station...
