Abstract— In this study, a tactile-roughness transmission system applicable to master-slave systems with a communication time delay is developed. The master-side system construct...
— A biologically inspired foveated attention system in an object detection scenario is proposed. Thereby, a highperformance active multi-focal camera system imitates visual behav...
— We present a method for reconstructing 3D models of tree branch structure from laser range data. Our approach is probabilistic, and uses a generative model of a tree to guide a...
— We propose a learning algorithm for estimating the 3-D orientation of objects. Orientation learning is a difficult problem because the space of orientations is non-Euclidean, ...
— This paper presents the design of a novel robotic system capable of long-term benthic sampling along a transect. The robot is built to traverse back and forth along a mechanica...
— This paper addresses the challenge of forming appropriate heterogeneous robot teams to solve tightly-coupled, potentially multi-robot tasks, in which the robot capabilities may...

Abstract— People in densely populated environments typically form groups that split and merge. In this paper we track groups of people so as to reflect this formation process an...
Abstract— Stigmergy is a mechanism that allows the coordination of actions within the same agent or across different agents by means of traces left in the environment. We propose...
Abstract— This paper describes an EEG-based human brainactuated robotic system, which allows performing navigation and visual exploration tasks between remote places via internet...
