Abstract— This paper introduces a novel approach to representing and learning tool affordances by a robot. The tool representation described here uses a behavior-based approach t...
— This paper introduces the multi-robot boundary coverage problem, wherein a group of k robots must inspect every point on the boundary of a 2-dimensional test environment. Using...
— We propose a new method of tactile sensing for a fingertip of robotic hand. Using a simple fingertip with soft surface cover and a six-axis force/torque sensor, developed is ...
Abstract— The first part of this paper describes the development of a humanoid robot hand based on an endoskeleton made of rigid links connected with elastic hinges, actuated by...
