A prototype system has been built to navigate a walking robot into a ship structure. The 8-legged robot is equipped with a stereo head. From the CAD-model of the ship good viewpoi...

Rodents possess extraordinary navigation abilities that are far in excess of what current state-of-the-art robot agents are capable of. This paper describes research that is part ...
A robot with the ability to dance autonomously has many potential applications, such as serving as a prototype dancer for choreographers or as a participant in stage performances ...

Human communication involves a number of nonverbal cues that are seemingly unintentional, unconscious, and automatic—both in their production and perception—and convey rich in...
—We propose a tracking control with collision avoidance for a group of unicycle mobile robots. A supervisory system assigns to each robot its reference path, together with the de...
We present the development of and experiment with a robot system showing cognitive capabilities of children of three to four years. We focus on two topics: assembly by two hands a...
In the field of service robotics, robots serve and assist human beings. It is natural for humans to directly interact with the robot via tactile interfaces. This paper introduces...
Visual servoing requires an object in the field of view of the camera, in order to control the robot evolution. Otherwise, the virtual link is broken and the control loop cannot c...

In this paper we present a novel approach to mobile robot navigation in natural unstructured environments. Natural scenes can be considered as random fields where a large number ...
Human motion can provide a rich source of examples for use in robot grasping and manipulation. Adapting human examples to a robot manipulator is a difficult problem, however, in ...
