- In many fields employing robots, e.g., wheelchair robots, rescue robots, and construction robots, those which can move on rough terrain are desired. A robot with a simple mechani...
— The paper describes the control and the navigation of a skiing robot that is capable of autonomous skiing on a ski slope using the carving skiing technique. Based on a complex ...
Abstract— We consider the problem of robotic object detection of such objects as mugs, cups, and staplers in indoor environments. While object detection has made significant pro...

Abstract— We consider the problem of planning collisionfree motions for general (i.e., possibly nonholonomic) redundant robots subject to task space constraints. Previous approac...
Abstract— Fire brigades and special agencies are often demanded to operate for search and aid of human lives in extremely dangerous scenarios. It is very important to first veri...
— In this paper, we present efficient solutions for planning motions of dual-arm manipulation and re-grasping tasks. Motion planning for such tasks on humanoid robots with a hig...

Abstract— This paper deals with a discret-time control approach, proposed for the control of a five-link, four-actuator planar biped walker. The approach is based on the choice ...
— We address the problem of foothold selection in robotic legged locomotion over very rough terrain. The difficulty of the problem we address here is comparable to that of human...
