Autonomous robots use sensors to perceive and track objects in the world. Tracking algorithms use object motion models to estimate the position of a moving object. Tracking effic...
Abstract— This paper describes a virtual reality based Programming by Demonstration system for grasp recognition in manipulation tasks and robot pregrasp planning. The system cla...
— We present a new approach to path planning for flexible wires. We introduce a method for computing stable configurations of a wire subject to manipulation constraints. These ...
Navigation of a car-like robot in environments with unknowns requires effective on-line planning of nonholonomic trajectories. We propose a set of basic maneuver patterns based on ...
Decision-theoretic reasoning and planning algorithms are increasingly being used for mobile robot navigation, due to the signi cant uncertainty accompanying the robots' perce...
