— This paper presents two new approaches to planning with uncertainty in position that achieve better performance than existing techniques and that are able to incorporate change...
— An important problem in position-based visual servoing (PBVS) is to guarantee that a target will remain within the field of view for the duration of the task. In this paper, w...
— In this paper, we present an approach allowing a robot to learn a generative model of its own physical body from scratch using self-perception with a single monocular camera. O...
In the context of automated feeding (orienting) of industrial parts, we study the algorithmic design of traps in the bowl feeder track that filter out all but one orientation of ...
— This paper presents a novel human detection method based on a Bayesian fusion approach using laser range data and camera images. Laser range data analysis groups data points wi...
For complex robotic tasks (manipulation, locomotion, haptics, ...), the lack of knowledge of precise interaction models, the difficulties to precisely measure the task associated ...

— Currently, large efforts are unertaken to bring robotic applications to domestic environments. Especially physical human-robot cooperation is a major concern and various design...
— We show how matching and reconstruction of contour points can be performed using Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) for the purpose of 3D hand contour tracking. We evaluate the perform...

— We present results of successful telemanipulation of large, heavy objects by a humanoid robot. Using a single joystick the operator controls walking and whole body manipulation...
— In this work a novel control method is presented for controlling the forward speed and apex height of a special class of running quadruped robot, with a dimensionless inertia o...
