At the intersection of tele-robotics, computer networking, and human social interaction we have chosen to explore an area we identifyas personal tele-embodiment. At the core of th...
This paper addresses the problem of seeking out parts of the environment that provide adequate features in order to perform robot localization. The objective is to choose good regi...
In this paper we describe an unsupervised robot learning method which is based on the robot learning a mapping between sensors and trajectory velocities. This enables the robot to...
Parts manufactured to tolerances have shape variations. Most work in robotic manipulation assumes that part shape does not vary. Orienting devices such as bowl feeders frequently ...
For a system of cooperative mobile robots to be effective in real-world applications, it must be able to efficiently execute a wide class of complex tasks in potentially unknown a...
