This paper introduces a method that reconstructs a surface patch by sampling along three concurrent curves on the surface with a touch sensor. These data curves, each lying in a d...
— We propose a novel solution to the problem of inverse kinematics for redundant robotic manipulators for the purposes of goal selection for path planning. We unify the calculati...
- This paper describes an approach that performs visual object detection in real-time by combining the strength of processing the color segmented image along with that of the grays...
— We present a vision- and ladar-based approach to autonomous driving on rural and desert roads that has been tested extensively in a closed-loop system. The vision component use...
— A legged robot walking on uneven terrain can avoid falling only by applying contact forces with its feet on the ground that compensate for gravity without causing slip. To plan...
— Robotics technology promises an enhanced way of performing off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. In the robotic-assisted CABG surgery, surgeon performs the oper...
— Telepresence systems are often deployed in scenarios where communication bandwidth is limited. Consequently, data exchanged between operator and teleoperator has to be reduced....

— The authors present an innovative method for the efficient joint estimation of attitude and position in six degrees of freedom via sensors such as GPS, inertial measurement un...
- This paper introduces a new approach to identify singularities of planar parallel manipulators (PPMs). This method is based on Maxwell’s reciprocal figure theory which establis...
