— If robots are to succeed in novel tasks, they must be able to learn from humans. To improve such humanrobot interaction, a system is presented that provides dialog structure an...
— This paper addresses the problem of coverage control of a network of mobile sensors. In the current literature, this is commonly formulated as a locational optimization problem...

— This paper introduces a new method to determine a person’s pose based on laser range measurements. Such estimates are typically a prerequisite for any human-aware robot navig...
— This article addresses the fast solution of a Quadratic Program underlying a Linear Model Predictive Control scheme that generates walking motions. We introduce an algorithm wh...
— A recent approach to steerable needle design is based on combining pre-curved tubes concentrically. By rotating and extending the tubes with respect to each other, the position...
— To evaluate and optimize the mechanical design of underactuated hands, a benchmark test is defined that quantifies the ability to hold grasped objects subject to force distur...
— We derive the theoretical performance of three bio-inspired odor source localization algorithms (casting, surgespiral and surge-cast) in laminar wind flow. Based on the geomet...
