—DASH is a small, lightweight, power autonomous robot capable of running at speeds up to 15 body lengths per second (see video). Drawing inspiration from biomechanics, DASH has a...
Abstract— Direct physical human-robot interaction has become a central part in the research field of robotics today. To use the advantages of the potential for humans and robots...

— Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) based on visual information is a challenging problem. One of the main problems with visual SLAM is to find good quality landmarks,...
— Our aim is to explore the fundamental stability issues of a robotic vehicle carrying out localization, mapping, and feedback control in a perturbation-filled environment. Moti...
— Perceptual aliasing makes topological navigation a difficult task. In this paper we present a general approach for topological SLAM (simultaneous localisation and mapping) whi...
— We present here a real time active vision system on a PTZ network camera to track an object of interest. We address two critical issues in this paper. One is the control of the...
— A new method for fast visual grasp of unknown objects using a camera mounted on a robot in an eye-inhand configuration is presented. The method is composed of a fast iterative...
Abstract— When a robot travels in urban area, Global Positional System (GPS) signals might be obstructed by buildings. Hence visual odometry is a choice. We notice that the verti...
— This paper presents an approach to time-optimal kinodynamic motion planning for a mobile robot. A global path planner is used to generate collision-free straight-line paths fro...
