— It is expected that variation of leg compliance, that is determined not only by joint compliance but by joint angle, contributes to provide multi-modal locomotion such as walki...
— This paper proposes a novel concept for the image based visual control, which is called the goal-oriented just-intime visual servoing. We apply this control to ball catching ta...
— This paper presents a novel technique to align partial 3D reconstructions of the seabed acquired by a stereo camera mounted on an autonomous underwater vehicle. Vehicle localiz...
Abstract— We present a novel antenna and system architecture for mobile manipulation based on passive RFID technology operating in the 850MHz-950MHz ultra-high-frequency (UHF) sp...

— Robots acting in populated environments must be capable of safe but also time efficient navigation. Trying to completely avoid regions resulting from worst case predictions of...
Abstract— In this paper the flocking problem for a multirobot system, consisting in making the robots of a team grouping together, is addressed. The flocking is achieved resort...
— When robot maintenance impedes the operation of other robots in a seaport container terminal, the operational efficiency is reduced. Therefore, robot reliability is necessary....
—It is expected that the use of haptic sensors to measure the magnitude, direction, and distribution of a force will enable a robotic hand to perform dexterous manipulations. The...

Abstract— We present a visual servoing scheme enabling nonholonomic mobile robots with a fixed pinhole camera to reach and follow a continuous path on the ground. The controller...
— In robotics, appearance-based topological map building consists in infering the topology of the environment explored by a robot from its sensor measurements. In this paper, we ...
