— Building an accurate three dimensional map is an important task for autonomous localisation and navigation. In a sequential approach to reconstruction from video streams, we sh...
— This paper presents a method to recognize and generate sequential motions for object manipulation such as placing one object on another or rotating it. Motions are learned usin...
— The standard control problem of the pendubot refers to the task of stabilizing its equilibrium configuration with the highest potential energy. Linearization of the dynamics o...
— High performance and compliant robot control requires accurate dynamics models which cannot be obtained analytically for sufficiently complex robot systems. In such cases, mac...
— In multimodal tele-cooperation as considered in this paper two humans in distant locations jointly perform a task requiring multimodal including haptic feedback. One human oper...
In the context of stereovision SLAM, we propose a way to enrich the landmark models. Vision-based SLAM approaches usually rely on interest points associated to a point in the Cart...
Abstract— We describe a framework for detecting and tracking continuous ”trails” in images and image sequences for autonomous robot navigation. Continuous trails are extended...
— Skin is an essential component of artificial hands. It enables the use of object affordance for recognition and control, but due to its intrinsic locality and low density of c...
— The desire for a high mobility-to-size ratio in mobile robots has led to the exploration of many new methods of locomotion, one of which is tumbling. To the authors’ knowledg...
— In this paper we introduce a friction observer for robots with joint torque sensing (in particular for the DLR medical robot) in order to increase the positioning accuracy and ...
