Incremental Learning-Based Adaptive Object Recognition for Mobile Robots

3D visual understanding of the surrounding environment is vital for successful mobile robotic tasks such as autonomous navigation or general object interaction. However, current systems have limited perceptual capabilities in the sense that they are not very well adaptable to unknown environments. Human operators, on the other hand, are experts...

Vision-based control of the Manus using SIFT

The rehabilitation robot Manus is an assistive device for severely motor handicapped users. The executing of all day living tasks with the Manus, can be very complex and a vision-based controller can simplify this. The lack of existing vision-based controlled systems, is the poor reliability of the computer vision in unstructured environments....
