This paper presents a novel method for mobile robot localization using visual appearance features. A multidimensional-histogram is used to describe the global appearance features ...
: Automated Guided Vehicles (or AGVs for short) have become an important option in material handling. In many applications, such as container terminals, the service area is often a...
— This paper presents a fast tracking algorithm capable of estimating the complete pose (6DOF) of an industrial object by using its circular-shape features. Since the algorithm i...

--- We have developed a humanoid robot HRP-2P with a biped locomotion controller, stereo vision software and aural human interface to realize cooperative works by a human and a hum...
— We propose a novel complementarity model for a general three-dimensional manipulation system with rolling and sliding contacts to solve the forward dynamics problem. The key id...
Abstract— This paper presents a randomized manipulation planner for a multi-fingered hand by switching contact modes. Manipulation planning for such a system should consider cha...
In this paper, we provide a principled and unified explanation how knowledge in global 3-D structural invariants, typically captured by a group action on a symmetric structure, ca...
