Robotics research is dependent on intelligent, fast, accurate, reliable and cheap sensors. Sonar sensing can fulfil these requirements. Moreover sonar physics provides robotics re...
In this paper the use of robots as intelligent appliances is discussed. A number of advertised systems are reviewed and their basic characteristics analyzed. Open issues in terms o...
Although odometry is nonlinear, it yields sufficiently to linearized analysis to produce a closed-form transition matrix and a symbolic general solution for both deterministic and...
This paper introduces an open architecture humanoid robotics platform (OpenHRP for short) on which various building blocks of humanoid robotics can be investigated. OpenHRP is a v...
This paper presents our experience towards the conception of a virtual reality medical simulator coupled with haptic interaction aimed at training surgeons. This area of research h...
Most of current machine vision systems suffer from a lack of flexibility to account for the high variability of unstructured environments. Here, as the state of the world evolves ...
We discuss the role of spatial representations and visual geometries in vision-based navigation. To a large extent, these choices determine the complexity and robustness of a given...
Abstract. This paper traces four years of evolution of the UNSW team in the RoboCup Sony legged robot league. The lessons learned in the creation of a competitive team are instruct...
Field Robots are machines that work in unstructured environments, including under water, in mines, in forests and on farms, and in the air. These applications involve both advance...
This paper describes the foundations and algorithms of a new probabilistic roadmap (PRM) planner that is: (1) singlequery –i.e., it does not pre-compute a roadmap, but uses the ...
