The ability to autonomously acquire new knowledge through interaction with the environment is an important research topic in the field of robotics. The knowledge can only be acqui...
We propose a particle filtering-based visual tracker, in which the affine group is treated as the state. We first develop a general particle filtering algorithm that explicitly tak...
We present a complete vision guided robot system for model based 3D pose estimation and picking of singulated 3D objects. Our system employs a novel vision sensor consisting of a ...

This paper is concerned with the problem of estimating the relative translation and orientation of an inertial measurement unit and a camera, which are rigidly connected. The key ...
The ability to represent knowledge about space and its position therein is crucial for a mobile robot. To this end, topological and semantic descriptions are gaining popularity fo...
Abstract-This paper describes a new image-based approach to tracking the 6 degrees of freedom trajectory of a stereo camera pair. The proposed technique estimates the pose and subs...
Several recent studies have investigated the problem of object feature extraction with artificial whiskers. Many of these studies have used an approach in which the whisker is rot...
This paper describes a data set collected by MIT's autonomous vehicle Talos during the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge. Data from a high precision navigation system, 5 cameras, 12 ...
