Abstract— Although the human hand is a complex biomechanical system, only a small set of features may be necessary for observation learning of functional grasp classes. We explor...

— This paper presents a hybrid localization scheme for a mobile robot using the hierarchical atlas. The hierarchical atlas is a map that consists of a higher level topological gr...

— In this article, the authors examine the problem of designing nominal manipulator Jacobians that are optimally fault tolerant to one or more joint failures. In this work, optim...

— This paper considers the problem of coordinating multiple vehicles with kinodynamic constraints that operate in the same partially-known environment. The vehicles are able to c...

Abstract— This paper presents a new approach to the intralocalization among a team of robots working in constrained 3D space of urban environments. As the base formation, a team ...
—A mobile robot can be a rather significant source of noise: noisy fans cool onboard computers, motors are spinning, rubber wheels are squeaking against the floor, and mechanical...
— Emotion recognition and adequate reactions are a crucial part of human communication and hence should also be considered for interactions between humans and robots. In this pap...

— A generalized kinematic modeling framework, called Mechanism_Model, has been developed for use in the CLARAty robotic reusable software. Mechanism_Model supports a wide range o...
— Algorithms for dextrous robot grasping always have to cope with the challenge of achieving high object specialisation for a wide range of grasping contexts. In this paper, we p...
