Abstract— Service robots which directly interact with humans in highly unstructured, unpredictable and dynamic environments must be able to flexibly adapt their motion in reacti...
— The paper describes a navigation algorithm for dynamic, uncertain environment. Moving obstacles are supposed to move on typical patterns which are pre-learned and are represent...

— In robotics, vertical lines have been always very useful for autonomous robot localization and navigation in structured environments. This paper presents a robust method for ma...
Abstract— In this paper, we present a framework that enables an operator to haptically and visually interact with a dynamic simulation subject to virtual holonomic constraints. T...
— Vehicle following can be achieved by minimizing the relative information (Kullback-Leibler or K-L distance), between the estimated poses of leader and follower vehicles by form...

— In this paper we describe the design and preliminary evaluation of an energetically-autonomous powered knee exoskeleton to facilitate running. The device consists of a knee bra...
— Creating robots able to interact and cooperate with humans in household environments and everyday life is an emerging topic. Our goal is to facilitate a humanlike and intuitive...
