— Robots acting in populated environments must be capable of safe but also time efficient navigation. Trying to completely avoid regions resulting from worst case predictions of...
Abstract: I n this paper, the mapping between the desired camera feature vector and the desired camera pose (i.e., the position, and orientation) is investigated to develop a measu...

Service robotics is currently a pivotal research area in robotics, with enormous societal potential. Since service robots directly interact with people, nding natural" and ea...
We present a system for visual robotic docking using an omnidirectional camera coupled with the actor critic reinforcement learning algorithm. The system enables a PeopleBot robot...
