Abstract— In this paper we present a novel approach to estimating the trajectory of a robot by means of inexpensive passive RFID tags and odometry in unknown environments. We sho...
— This paper describes a robotic system that learns visual models of symmetric objects autonomously. Our robot learns by physically interacting with an object using its end effec...
— Robot vision has a lot to win as well with wide field of view induced by catadioptric cameras as with redundancy brought by stereovision. Merging these two characteristics in ...
—Software development for industrial robots is still strongly limited by the use of old-style robot programming languages. These languages are tailored to meet a special requirem...

— In our previous works we had developed a framework for self-reconfiguration planning based on graph signature and graph edit-distance. The graph signature is a fast isomorphism...

— Parametric excitation walking is one of methods that realize a passive dynamic like walking on the level ground. In parametric excitation walking, up-and-down motion of the cen...
— This paper presents a mechanism and a control strategy that enables automated non-contact manipulation of spherical objects in three dimensions using air flow, and demonstrate...
— We present a general method for integrating visual components into a multi-modal cognitive system. The integration is very generic and can work with an arbitrary set of modalit...
