In this paper, a novel artificial potential function is proposed for planning the path of a robotic sensor in a partially observed environment containing multiple obstacles and mul...
Many Ubiquitous computing applications can be considered as planning and acting problems in environments characterised by uncertainty and partial observability. Such systems rely ...
One of the fundamental problems in the eld of mobile robotics is the estimation of the robot's position in the environment. Position probability grids have been proven to be a...
This paper describes a new method for improving the accuracy of range information using low resolution ultrasonic sensors mounted on a mobile robot. These sensors emit ultra-sound...
Human-friendly robots of new generation will require the sensor skin that is soft and covering the whole body. But it would be very difficult to fabricate it with the traditional ...
A human can lift up an object with almost minimal grasping force regardless of the friction coefficient between the fingers and the object, but the sensing mechanism for this rema...
The need for high precision robotic systems has increased in recent years. Examples include automated assembly of complex electro-mechanical products such as disk drives, cameras,...
This paper describes the application of a computational vision sensor to active binocular tracking. The sensor outputs are used to control the vergence angles of the two cameras a...
Sensor networks are being widely deployed for measurement, detection and surveillance applications. In these new applications, users issue long-running queries over a combination o...
