If robotic agents are to act autonomously they must have the ability to construct and reason about models of their physical environment. For example, planning to achieve goals req...
— This paper presents a parallel algorithm of the Level Set Method named the Parallel Fast Level Set Method, and its application for real-time 3D reconstruction of human shape an...
Abstract— In human-robot communication it is often important to relate robot sensor readings to concepts used by humans. We suggest to use a virtual sensor (one or several physic...
— This paper introduces a new method to determine a person’s pose based on laser range measurements. Such estimates are typically a prerequisite for any human-aware robot navig...
Abstract--High level conceptual thought seems to be at the basis of the impressive human cognitive ability, and AI researchers aim to replicate this ability in artificial agents. C...
