— The paper contributes to presenting both an accurate and robust shape tracking algorithm and a novel visual servoing method. Two steps are involved in the tracking algorithm. F...
— We present a method for learning activity-based ground models based on a multiple particle filter approach to motion tracking in video acquired from a moving aerial platform. ...

- Robot photographers have appeared in a variety of novelty settings over the past few years and typically have exploited rudimentary image-content-based approaches to identifying ...
— In this paper the problem of adaptively controlling a hydraulic system with uncertainties is considered. An adaptive controller is derived to control actuator force with unknow...

- Using the Darwin2k development software, a genetic algorithm (GA) was used to design and optimize a pipecrawling robot for parameters such as mass, power consumption, and joint e...
-In order to implement a continuous and robust dynamic localization of a mobile robot, the fusion of dead reckoning and absolute sensors is often used. Depending on the objectives ...
— We continue our investigation into the application of pervasive, embedded networks to support multi-robot tasks. In this work we use a new a hardware platform, the GNATs, to ai...

— This paper proposes a method for a humanoid robot to generate 3D model of the environment using a stereo vision, find a movable space using it and plan feasible locomotion onl...
— In this paper we describe an approach to feature representation for simultaneous localization and mapping, SLAM. It is a general representation for features that addresses symm...
