— A planning method for knotting/unknotting and tightening manipulation of deformable linear objects is proposed. It is important for linear object manipulation in industrial/med...
— This paper presents a robust model-based visual tracking algorithm that can give accurate 3D pose of a rigid object. Our tracking algorithm uses an incremental pose update sche...
