With the rapid technological advances in machine learning and data mining, it is now possible to train computers with hundreds of semantic concepts for the purpose of annotating i...
We consider the problem of grasping novel objects in cluttered environments. If a full 3-d model of the scene were available, one could use the model to estimate the stability and...
Self-organizing models develop realistic cortical structures when given approximations of the visual environment as input, and are an effective way to model the development of fac...
For any embodied, mobile, autonomous agent it is essential to control its actuators appropriately for the faced task. This holds for natural organisms as well as for robots. If sev...
A central goal of robotics and AI is to be able to deploy an agent to act autonomously in the real world over an extended period of time. It is commonly asserted that in order to ...
