Abstract— Tomorrow’s humanoids will operate in human environments, where efficient manipulation and locomotion skills, and safe contact interactions will be critical design fa...
— The main contribution of this paper is a new SLAM algorithm for the mapping of large scale environments by combining local maps. The local maps can be generated by traditional ...
— Quasistatic multi-legged locomotion consists of a sequence of equilibrium postures where the mechanism supports itself against gravity while moving free limbs to new positions....
— This paper presents a new technique to estimate the extrinsic parameters of a robot-vision sensor system. More in general, this technique can be adopted to calibrate any robot ...
