Abstract— This paper studies the sequential object recognition problem faced by a mobile robot searching for specific objects within a cluttered environment. In contrast to curr...
— Range-Only SLAM represents a difficult problem due to the inherent ambiguity of localizing either the robot or the beacons from distance measurements only. Most previous appro...

Abstract— The design of robotic systems involves contributions from several areas of science and engineering. Electrical, mechanical and software components must be integrated to...
— This paper provides a novel state vector and covariance sub-matrix recovery algorithm for a recently developed submap based exactly sparse Extended Information Filter (EIF) SLA...
— In this paper we present a novel approach to robust visual servoing. This method removes the feature tracking step from a typical visual servoing algorithm. We do not need corr...
— Localization is a very important problem in robotics and is critical to many tasks performed on a mobile robot. In order to localize well in environments with few landmarks, a ...
— Building a basketball robot is a recently launched project at the Institute of Automatic Control Engineering (LSR) for investigating fast manipulation with non-negligible dynam...
— Faces play a major role in many HCI systems, because they represent a rich source of information. Being able to estimate the 3D face pose in real-time, we can get a clue about ...
