Abstract— When grasping an object, friction forces are sometimes utilized. Because of this friction forces, the object is manipulable to various direction. In this paper, we disc...

— This paper deals with the haptic rendering of collisions between a human operator and rigid objects in a virtual environment. The focus being on high-velocity impacts on a rigi...
Model-based recognition of an object typically involves matching dense 3D range data. The computational cost is directly affected by the amount of data of which a transformation n...
— This paper proposes a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based approach to generate human-like movements for humanoid robots. Given human motion capture data for a class of movements, p...
— We evaluate Layered Hidden Markov Models (LHMM) for motion intention recognition based on actionprimitives or gestemes. The proposed methodology uses three different HMM models...
Abstract— This paper proposes a small-scale agile wall climbing robot able to navigate on smooth surfaces of any orientation, including vertical and inverted surfaces, which uses...

— The paper addresses the problem of controlling the posture of a nonholonomic mobile robot via sensor-based target tracking. The control technique here considered is adapted fro...
— In this paper we derive theoretical results for the problem of on-line sensor calibration for a mobile robot. We consider the case of the odometry sensor. A first series of re...
