—This paper proposes the use of Electric Field Sensors to implement “pretouch” for robotic grasping. Weakly electric fish use this perceptual channel, but it has not received...
Abstract— Vision-based place recognition is a desirable feature for an autonomous mobile system. In order to work in realistic scenarios, visual recognition algorithms should be ...

— This paper reports a vacuum-based wet adhesion system for wall climbing robots. In this adhesion system, a suction cup adheres on a wet surface. The problems addressed are an a...
— Due to their flexibility in coverage and resolution, networked robotic cameras become more and more popular in applications such as natural observation, security surveillance,...
— This paper considers the problem of allocating tasks among robots that operate on a 3D truss. Each robot is commanded to navigate to a different location for work. When the inf...
– This paper presents visual perception discovered in high-level manipulator planning for a robot to reproduce the procedure involved in human painting. First, we propose a techn...
— Local maps algorithms have demonstrated to be well suited for mapping large environments as can reduce the computational cost and improve the consistency of the final estimati...
— The Micromechanical Flying Insect (MFI) project aims to create a 25 mm (wingtip to wingtip) flapping wing micro air vehicle inspired by the aerodynamics of insect flight. A k...
