— When a network of robots or static sensors is emplaced in an environment, the spatial relationships between the sensing units must be inferred or computed for most key applicat...
- In this work we address the problem of perception, spatial cognition and topological navigation for a mobile robot. The objective of this work is to enable the navigation of an a...
Abstract— This paper describes a virtual reality based Programming by Demonstration system for grasp recognition in manipulation tasks and robot pregrasp planning. The system cla...
— Mobile robots do not adequately represent the objects in their environment; this weakness hinders a robot’s ability to utilize past experience. In this paper, we describe a s...
Abstract— Many robotics applications require a human operator to monitor multiple robots that collaborate to achieve the operator’s goals. Most approaches to such monitoring fo...
