Learning Globally Consistent Maps by Relaxation
Mobile robots require the ability to build their own maps to operate in unknown environments. A fundamental problem is that odometry-based dead reckoning cannot be used to assign ...

Using Haptic Vector Fields for Animation Motion Control
We are exploring techniques for animation authoring and editing using a haptic force-feedback device. In our system, a family of animations is encoded by a bundle of trajectories....

Fault Detection for Robot Manipulators with Parametric Uncertainty: A Prediction Error Based Approach
—In this paper, we introduce a new approach to fault detection for robot manipulators. The technique, which is based on the isolation of fault signatures via filtered torque pred...

Automatic Identification of Local Geometric Properties During Teleoperation
During teleoperation, a human operator often receives only 2-D visual feedback from the remote environment. While a variety of kinematic sensors exist on the remote manipulator fo...

Vision-Based Dynamic Estimation and Set-Point Stabilization of Nonholonomic Vehicles
In this paper, a nonhonolonomic vehicle is stabilized to a desired pose through a wisual servoing technique. The vision-based regulation of the nonholonomic vehicle, we propose, i...
