In this paper we address the uncertainty issues involved in the low-level vision task of image segmentation. Researchers in computer vision have worked extensively on this problem, in which the goal is to partition (or segment) an image…
Vision based localization is a popular approach to carry out manoeuvres particularly in GPS-restricted indoor environments, because vision can complement other activities performed by the robot. The objective is to estimate the current…
There are few industries which use manually controlled robots for carrying material and this cannot be used all the time in all the places. So, it is very tranquil to have robots which can follow a specific human by following the unique…
While robotic manipulation of rigid objects is quite straightforward, coping with deformable objects is an open issue. More specifically, tasks like tying a knot, wiring a connector or even surgical suturing deal with the domain of…
We address the problem of vehicle self-localization from multi-modal sensor information and a reference map. The map is generated off-line by extracting landmarks from the vehicle's field of view, while the measurements are collected…
We study the problem of change point localization in dynamic networks models. We assume that we observe a sequence of independent adjacency matrices of the same size, each corresponding to a realization of an unknown inhomogeneous Bernoulli…
Object placement is a fundamental task for robots, yet it remains challenging for partially observed objects. Existing methods for object placement have limitations, such as the requirement for a complete 3D model of the object or the…
Precise localization is a core ability of an autonomous vehicle. It is a prerequisite for motion planning and execution. The well-established localization approaches such as Kalman and particle filters require a probabilistic observation…

We consider a regularization concept for the solution of ill--posed operator equations, where the operator is composed of a continuous and a discontinuous operator. A particular application is level set regularization, where we develop a…
An optimization problem is at the heart of many robotics estimating, planning, and optimum control problems. Several attempts have been made at model-based multi-robot localization, and few have formulated the multi-robot collaborative…
Mapping and localization are two essential tasks for mobile robots in real-world applications. However, largescale and dynamic scenes challenge the accuracy and robustness of most current mature solutions. This situation becomes even worse…

Robots with very limited capabilities are placed on the vertices of a graph and are required to move toward a single, common vertex, where they remain stationary once they arrive. This task is referred to as the GATHERING problem. Most of…
