We present novel exploration algorithms and a control law that enables the construction of Voronoi diagrams over unknown areas using a single vehicle equipped with range sensors. T...
Abstract Modern service robots will soon become an essential part of modern society. As they have to move and act in human environments, it is essential for them to be provided wit...
Abstract In this paper we address whole-body manipulation of bulky objects by a humanoid robot. We adopt a "pivoting" manipulation method that allows the humanoid to disp...
Abstract Many elderly and physically impaired people experience difficulties when maneuvering a powered wheelchair. In order to provide improved maneuvering, powered wheelchairs ha...
We describe a novel method whereby a particle filter is used to create a potential field for robot control without prior clustering. We show an application of this technique to ...
This paper presents a novel method for enabling a robot to determine the position of a sound source in three dimensions using just two microphones and interaction with its environm...
