Abstract Our work aims at developing a robust discriminant controller for robot programming by demonstration. It addresses two core issues of imitation learning, namely what to...
This paper explores the hypothesis that pointing gesture recognition can be learned using a reward based system. An experiment with two four-legged robots is presented. One of the...
This paper considers the convergence problem in autonomous mobile robot systems. A natural algorithm for the problem requires the robots to move towards their center of gravity. Th...
— This paper addresses the problem of impedance control for flexible joint robots based on a singular perturbation approach. Some aspects of the impedance controller, which turn...
This paper presents a general framework for planning the quasi-static motion of a three-limbed climbing robot in vertical natural terrain. The problem is to generate a sequence of...
