— Active contours have been widely used as image segmentation methods. The use of level set theory has provided more flexibility and convenience for the implementation of active...
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...
- Using the Darwin2k development software, a genetic algorithm (GA) was used to design and optimize a pipecrawling robot for parameters such as mass, power consumption, and joint e...
— Deformable object tracking is used in many robotics applications including biomanipulation, vision-based force sensing, and the control of deformable structures. A tracking alg...
— We address the synthesis of controllers for large groups of robots and sensors, tackling the specific problem of controlling a swarm of robots to generate patterns specified ...
