— A novel approach is presented which aims at building autonomously visual models of unknown objects, using a humanoid robot. Although good methods have been proposed for the spe...
— In this paper, we present an approach that allows a robot to observe, generalize, and reproduce tasks observed from multiple demonstrations. Motion capture data is recorded in ...
Abstract— This paper presents ICS-AVOID, a collision avoidance scheme based upon the concept of Inevitable Collision State (ICS), ie a state for which, no matter what the future ...
— Humans and animals adapt their leg impedance during running for both internal(e.g. loading) and external(e.g. surface) changes. In this paper we examine the relationship betwee...
Abstract— This paper provides a novel solution for robocentric mapping using an autonomous mobile robot. The robot dynamic model is the standard unicycle model and the robot is a...
— This paper deals with the platooning problem that can be defined as the automatic following of a manned driven vehicle by a convoy of automatic ones. Different approaches have...
— Rapidly-exploring Random Trees (RRTs) are widely used to solve large planning problems where the scope prohibits the feasibility of deterministic solvers, but the efficiency o...

Abstract— In this study, a tactile-roughness transmission system applicable to master-slave systems with a communication time delay is developed. The master-side system construct...
