— Perceptual aliasing makes topological navigation a difficult task. In this paper we present a general approach for topological SLAM (simultaneous localisation and mapping) whi...
— We present here a real time active vision system on a PTZ network camera to track an object of interest. We address two critical issues in this paper. One is the control of the...
— A new method for fast visual grasp of unknown objects using a camera mounted on a robot in an eye-inhand configuration is presented. The method is composed of a fast iterative...
Abstract— When a robot travels in urban area, Global Positional System (GPS) signals might be obstructed by buildings. Hence visual odometry is a choice. We notice that the verti...
— This paper presents an approach to time-optimal kinodynamic motion planning for a mobile robot. A global path planner is used to generate collision-free straight-line paths fro...
—This study attempts to make a compact humanoid robot acquire a giant-swing motion without any robotic models by using reinforcement learning; only the interaction with environme...
Abstract— Future retinal therapies will be partially automated in order to increase the surgeons’ ability to operate near the sensitive structure of the human eye retina. Untet...

— This paper presents a high speed visual tracking method based on non simultaneous subimages acquisition. This method is formulated as a virtual visual servoing scheme. The sequ...

— We aim at developing a singer robot capable of listening to music with its own “ears” and interacting with a human’s musical performance. Such a singer robot requires at ...
