— In this paper, two real-time pose tracking algorithms for rigid objects are compared. Both methods are 3D-model based and are capable of calculating the pose between the camera...
— The paper presents a robot cell for multimodal standing-up motion augmentation. The robot cell is aimed at augmenting the standing-up capabilities of impaired or paraplegic sub...

Abstract— We describe circular/spherical robots for crawling and jumping. Locomotion over rough terrain has been achieved mainly by rigid body systems including crawlers and leg ...
— In order to create consistent maps of unknown environments, a robot must be able to recognize when it has returned to a previously visited place. In this paper, we introduce an...
– The Science Activity Planner (SAP) is the primary science operations tool for the Mars Exploration Rover mission and NASA’s Software of the Year for 2004. SAP utilizes a vari...

— In [5], a version of Relative Map Filter (RMF) is proposed to solve the simultaneous localization and map building (SLAM) problem. In the RMF, the map states contain only quant...
- Human beings cannot control a position of sphere on the disk without seeing it. Because under such a condition, as we determine the position and estimate the motion of sphere by ...
— This paper presents the novel insight that the SLAM information matrix is exactly sparse in a delayedstate framework. Such a framework is used in view-based representations of ...
- A five-fingered robot hand having almost an equal number of DOF to the human hand is developed. The robot hand is driven by a unique method using ultrasonic motors and elastic el...
- Autonomous navigation in 2D and 3D environments has been studied for a long time. Navigating within a 3D environment is very challenging for both animals and robots and a variety...
