Abstract--For the last decade, we have developed a visionbased architecture for mobile robot navigation. Our bio-inspired model of the navigation has proved to achieve sensory-moto...
Autonomous mobile robots have the potential to change our everyday life. Unresolved challenges which span a large spectrum of artificial intelligence research need to be answered t...
A service robot should be able to automatically plan manipulation actions to help people in domestic environments. Following the classic senseplan-act cycle, in this paper we prese...

Natural and friendly interface is critical for the development of service robots. Gesture-based interface offers a way to enable untrained users to interact with robots more easil...
Abstract The DLR Lightweight Robot III (LWR-III) developed at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) is characterized by low inertial properties, torque sensing in each joint, and a loa...
— This paper defines and analyzes a simple robot with local sensors that moves in an unknown polygonal environment. The robot can execute wall-following motions and can traverse...
Abstract-- In this paper we consider the problem of monitoring a known set of stationary features (or locations of interest) in an environment. To observe a feature, a robot must v...
This paper considers the problem of multi robot localization. The analysis is focused on the problem of determining which are the optimal robot trajectories in order to minimize th...
In this paper, we consider the problem of motion planning for mobile robots with nonlinear hybrid dynamics, and high-level temporal goals. We use a multi-layered synergistic framew...
Locally weighted as well as Gaussian mixtures learning algorithms are suitable strategies for trajectory learning and skill acquisition, in the context of programming by demonstrat...
