Background estimation, i.e. automatic recovery of the background image from a sequence of images containing moving foreground objects, is an important module in many applications,...
— We present an optimization-based approach to grasping and path planning for mobile manipulators. We focus on pick-and-place operations, where a given object must be moved from ...
This paper presents a robust tracking system for autonomous robots equipped with omnidirectional cameras. The proposed method uses a 3D shape and color-based object model. This all...
—Robot imitation is a useful and promising alternative to robot programming. Robot imitation involves two crucial issues. The first is how a robot can imitate a human whose phys...
