— A new three degrees of freedom translational parallel manipulator (TPM) with fixed actuators, called a general 3-PRC TPM, is proposed in this paper. The mobility of the manipu...
Abstract Climbing robots that climb flat structures using suction cups or magnets are commonly described in the literature. However, robots that can autonomously find randomly plac...
Abstract— This paper introduces a novel approach to representing and learning tool affordances by a robot. The tool representation described here uses a behavior-based approach t...
— Moments are generic (and usually intuitive) descriptors that can be computed from several kinds of objects defined either from closed contours or from a set of points. In this...
— This paper proposes a method for a humanoid robot to generate 3D model of the environment using a stereo vision, find a movable space using it and plan feasible locomotion onl...
