— Scan matching is used as a building block in many robotic applications, for localization and simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). Although many techniques have been pr...
— A stereo pair of cameras attached to a robot will inevitably yield images with different contrast. Even if we assume that the camera hardware is identical, due to slightly diff...
— A new hybrid motion planning technique based on Harmonic Functions (HF) and Probabilistic Roadmaps (PRM) is presented. The proposed approach consists of incrementally building ...
— We present a new sampling-based algorithm for iteratively locating Voronoi vertices of a point set in the unit cube Id = [0, 1]d . The algorithm takes an input sample and execu...
— The demand for flexible and re-programmable robots has increased the need for programming by demonstration systems. In this paper, grasp recognition is considered in a program...
— A feature detection system has been developed for real-time identification of lines, circles and people legs from laser range data. A new method suitable for arc/circle detect...
Abstract— With the rapid progress of the robotic technology, it is becoming increasingly common to have multiple robots working together for material transport, cooperative assem...
— Meetings are a very important part of everyday life for professionals working in universities, companies or governmental institutions. We have designed a physical awareness sys...
— Map building through cooperative localisation (co-location) using circular geometric targets and a SICK laser range scanner is investigated. The tenet of co-location is circle ...
