— For a coexisting and collaborative society that incorporates humans and robots, the detection, tracking, and recognition of human motion are indispensable techniques for a robo...
— In the past, there has been a tremendous advance in the area of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). However, there are relatively few approaches for incorporating pri...

— Pretouch sensing is longer range than contact, but shorter range than vision. The hypothesis motivating this work is that closed loop feedback based on short range but nonconta...
—This paper introduces a new algorithm for probabilistic motion planning in arbitrary, uncertain vector fields, with emphasis on high-level planning for Montgolfier´e balloons...

Abstract— We describe here our proposed method to investigate the sliding motion of a soft fingertip in the dexterous manipulation. This paper focuses on analyzing dynamic slidi...
— The main aspect in multi-robot exploration is the efficient coordination of a group of robots. Inspired by previous results on the coverage problem, we propose a novel, fronti...
