— Grasping is a central issue of various robot applications, especially when unknown objects have to be manipulated by the system. In earlier work, we have shown the efficiency ...
We are developing a novel sensing device named “3-dimensional capture sheet (3DCS)”. The cloth-like sheet measures its own 3D configuration. The sheet enables us to make a sof...
Abstract. In this paper image-based techniques for 3D surface reconstruction are presented which are especially suitable for (but not limited to) coplanar light sources. The first...
A Robotic System is being developed to automate the crucible packing process in the CZ semiconductor wafer production. It requires the delicate manipulation and packing of highly ...
We revisit the problem of recovering 3D shape from the projection of planar curves on a surface. This problem is strongly motivated by perception studies. Applications include sin...
