Abstract— The design of robotic systems involves contributions from several areas of science and engineering. Electrical, mechanical and software components must be integrated to...
— This paper provides a novel state vector and covariance sub-matrix recovery algorithm for a recently developed submap based exactly sparse Extended Information Filter (EIF) SLA...
— In this paper we present a novel approach to robust visual servoing. This method removes the feature tracking step from a typical visual servoing algorithm. We do not need corr...
— Localization is a very important problem in robotics and is critical to many tasks performed on a mobile robot. In order to localize well in environments with few landmarks, a ...
— Building a basketball robot is a recently launched project at the Institute of Automatic Control Engineering (LSR) for investigating fast manipulation with non-negligible dynam...
— Faces play a major role in many HCI systems, because they represent a rich source of information. Being able to estimate the 3D face pose in real-time, we can get a clue about ...
— We describe a method for an autonomous robot to efficiently locate one or more distinct objects in a realistic environment using monocular vision. We demonstrate how to effic...
— This paper presents an initial design and feasibility study for a 1-DOF Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) compatible needle driver robot for radiofrequency ablation (RFA). This ...
