— This paper introduces a sensor-based planning algorithm that uses less sensing information than any others within the family of bug algorithms. The robot is unable to access pr...
Abstract— Climbing robots are especially susceptible to thermal overload during normal operation, due to the need to oppose gravity and to frequently apply internal forces for cl...
— This paper presents Tiji, a trajectory generation scheme, ie an algorithm that computes a feasible trajectory between a start and a goal state, for a given robotic system. Tiji...
— Tendon-based transmission systems present many positive aspects and greatly simplify the mechanical design of small robotic devices, such as robotic fingers. On the other hand...
Abstract— We consider the problem of estimating the incident angle of a sound, using only a single microphone. The ability to perform monaural (single-ear) localization is import...
—Collision safety between humans and robots has drawn much attention since service robots are increasingly being used in human environments. A safe robot arm based on passive com...
— We present a global vector field computation algorithm in configuration spaces for smooth feedback motion planning. Our algorithm performs approximate cell decomposition in t...
— This paper considers the problem of estimating pose from inertial and bearing-only vision measurements. We present a non-linear observer that evolves directly on the special Eu...
— In this paper we present a novel methodology for detection and tracking of facial features like eyes, nose and mouth in image sequences. The proposed methodology is intended to...
