— It is frequently accepted in the manipulation literature that tactile sensing is needed to improve the precision of robot manipulation. However, there is no consensus on how th...
—This paper introduces a simple algorithm for non-prehensile object transportation by a pushing robot on a flat surface. We assume that the global position and orientation of the...
Suppose we want to move a passive object along a given path, among obstacles in the plane, by pushing it with an active robot. We present two algorithms to compute a push plan for...
— This paper describes a methodology regarding an autonomous cruise control (ACC) of circulating multi-robot which is directly effective for solving the congestion regardless of ...
Service robots will have to accomplish more and more complex, open-ended tasks and regularly acquire new skills. In this work, we propose a new approach to generating plans for su...
— Humanoid robots are expected to share human environments in the future and it is important to ensure safety of their operation. A serious threat to safety is the fall of a huma...
— Radio signal-based localization and mapping is becoming more interesting as applications involving the collaboration between robots and static wireless devices are more common....
Abstract— Precise calibration of camera intrinsic and extrinsic parameters, while often useful, is difficult to obtain during field operation and presents scaling issues for mu...
