Motion recognition and generation by combining reference-point-dependent probabilistic models
— This paper presents a method to recognize and generate sequential motions for object manipulation such as placing one object on another or rotating it. Motions are learned usin...

Using planar facets for stereovision SLAM
In the context of stereovision SLAM, we propose a way to enrich the landmark models. Vision-based SLAM approaches usually rely on interest points associated to a point in the Cart...

Shape-guided superpixel grouping for trail detection and tracking
Abstract— We describe a framework for detecting and tracking continuous ”trails” in images and image sequences for autonomous robot navigation. Continuous trails are extended...

Repetitive grasping with anthropomorphic skin-covered hand enables robust haptic recognition
— Skin is an essential component of artificial hands. It enables the use of object affordance for recognition and control, but due to its intrinsic locality and low density of c...
