: This paper presents a vision-speech system for service robots that can learn the user’s customs and objects fixed in the environment while helping the user, and can perform the...
Service robots need object recognition strategy that can work on various objects in complex backgrounds. Since no single method can work in every situation, we need to combine sev...
This paper presents an approach to create POMDP models, used for decision making by an autonomous service robot, from background knowledge. This allows the power of POMDP decision ...
Abstract. This paper proposes a novel architecture for the programming of multi-modal service robots and networked sensors. The presented software framework eases the development o...
Genetic programming makes it possible to automatically search the space of possible programs. First we evolved a behavior-based control architecture using computer simulations. Th...
Service robots which should perform human-like operation will penetrate into a great number of applications in the future. Requirements for this is high flexibility, autonomy and ...
— This paper presents a new approach for the absolute self-localization of a mobile robot in structured large-scale environments. The requirements with regard to both, the necess...
Interacting with a domestic service robot implies the existence of a joint environment model for user and robot. To enable robot navigation within such a setting requires further ...
