— The control approaches based on tasks, and particularly based on a hierarchy of tasks, enable to build complex behaviors with some nice properties of robustness and portability...
—The aim of this paper is to enable a programmer to easily employ external sensors for flexible robot manipulation. We describe a general approach to determine the relation betwe...
— Legged robots represent great promise for transport in unstructured environments. However, it has been difficult to devise motion planning strategies that achieve a combinatio...
— This paper proposes a piercing based grasping by using the self-tightening effect of objects with elasticity. We suppose a piercing hand with palm where the piercing motion by ...
Abstract— In this paper we consider the problem of sensorimotor coordination in a Bayesian framework. To this end we introduce a novel kind of Dynamic Bayesian Network serving as...

— In this paper, a high-speed range image sensor using a multi-spot laser projector is constructed. Several highspeed range image sensors have been developed recently. Their samp...
— In this paper, we describe the components of a novel algorithm for the extraction of dominant orthogonal planar structures from monocular images taken in indoor environments. T...
— Gait recognition has recently gained attention as an effective approach to identify individuals at a distance from a camera. Most existing gait recognition algorithms assume th...
