Numerous approaches have been proposed for path planning in dynamic current fields, for a fixed departure time. However, in many applications, the departure time is not necessarily...
This paper presents a methodology based on a variation of the Quintic Pythagorean Hodographs curves for generating smooth feasible paths for autonomous vehicles in three-dimensiona...

Contextual reasoning through graphical models such as Markov Random Fields often show superior performance against local classifiers in many domains. Unfortunately, this performanc...
Our previous paper presented a method for reducing adhesion forces by oscillation and showed the adhesion state can be checked by analyzing the data obtained by laser displacement ...
In a previous paper, we developed a robotic finger equipped with optical three-axis tactile sensors, of which the sensing cell can separately detect normal and shearing forces. Wit...

A Skilligent robot must be able to learn skills autonomously to accomplish a task. "Skilligence" is the capacity of the robot to control behaviors reasonably, based on th...
This paper presents a method for accurately segmenting and classifying 3D range data into particular object classes. Object classification of input images is necessary for applicat...
Mapping opaque and confined environments such as caves and pipes is a challenging problem for mobile robots because sensor information is severely limited to the immediate proximit...
