— Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) provide a rich mathematical model to handle realworld sequential decision processes but require a known model to be solv...
Abstract— Robotics researchers are often faced with realtime constraints, and for that reason algorithmic and implementation-level optimization can dramatically increase the over...
Abstract— This paper describes our successful implementation of a robot that autonomously and strategically removes multiple blocks from an unstable Jenga tower. We present an in...

— There is a subset of objects for which interaction can provide numerous cues to those objects’ identity. Robots are often in situations where they can take advantage being ab...
—This paper introduces a method for computing the shape of a continuously-flexible (continuum) robot in 3-D space which includes gravity loading by applying Cosserat rod theory t...
— We consider systems of mobile robots that execute a transportation task and periodically recharge from a docking station. The location of the docking station has a considerable...
Abstract— The goal of this paper is to present a way to perform visual servoing tasks from color attributes. This approach can be seen as an extension of our previous papers base...
— Humanoid robots and robotic manipulators with good dexterity are promising to enhance the factory productivity in next generation. Dexterity of robotic manipulators can be achi...
— Accurate needle insertion in 3D environment is always a grand challenge. When multiple targets are located in the tissue, a procedure of inserting multiple needles from a singl...
