FOCUS: a generalized method for object discovery for robots that observe and interact with humans
The essence of the signal-to-symbol problem consists of associating a symbolic description of an object (e.g., a chair) to a signal (e.g., an image) that captures the real object....

Effective team-driven multi-model motion tracking
Autonomous robots use sensors to perceive and track objects in the world. Tracking algorithms use object motion models to estimate the position of a moving object. Tracking effic...
