Coordinating proximity and tactile imaging by collocating cameras with tactile sensors can 1) provide useful information before contact such as object pose estimates and visually servo a robot to a target with reduced occlusion and higher…
It is challenging for humans -- particularly those living with physical disabilities -- to control high-dimensional, dexterous robots. Prior work explores learning embedding functions that map a human's low-dimensional inputs (e.g., via a…
We propose a vision-based warning system for the maintenance personnel working on short-term construction sites. Traditional solutions use passive protection, like setting up traffic cones, safety beacons, or even nothing. However, such…
Robot localization is an inverse problem of finding a robot's pose using a map and sensor measurements. In recent years, Invertible Neural Networks (INNs) have successfully solved ambiguous inverse problems in various fields. This paper…
Machine vision is critical to robotics due to a wide range of applications which rely on input from visual sensors such as autonomous mobile robots and smart production systems. To create the smart homes and systems of tomorrow, an overview…
With the rise in data centre virtualization, there are increasing choices as to where to place workloads, be it in web applications, Enterprise IT or in Network Function Virtualisation. Workload placement approaches available today…
The increasing number of robots in home environments leads to an emerging coexistence between humans and robots. Robots undertake common tasks and support the residents in their everyday life. People appreciate the presence of robots in…
In this paper we demonstrate the use of intelligent optimization methodologies on the visualization optimization of virtual / simulated environments. The problem of automatic selection of an optimized set of views, which better describes an…
In this study, we aim to solve the single-view robot self-localization problem by using visual experience across domains. Although the bag-of-words method constitutes a popular approach to single-view localization, it fails badly when it's…
Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) is one of the fundamental problems in autonomous mobile robots where a robot needs to reconstruct a previously unseen environment while simultaneously localising itself with respect to the map.…
Current approaches in human-aware or social robot navigation address the humans that are visible to the robot. However, it is also important to address the possible emergences of humans to avoid shocks or surprises to humans and erratic…
Real-time monitoring of critical parameters is essential for energy systems' safe and efficient operation. However, traditional sensors often fail and degrade in harsh environments where physical sensors cannot be placed (inaccessible…
Robust motion planning is a well-studied problem in the robotics literature, yet current algorithms struggle to operate scalably and safely in the presence of other moving agents, such as humans. This paper introduces a novel framework for…
We contribute a first design space on visualizations in motion and the design of a pilot study we plan to run in the fall. Visualizations can be useful in contexts where either the observation is in motion or the whole visualization is…
Personal mobile robotic assistants are expected to find wide applications in industry and healthcare. For example, people with limited mobility can benefit from robots helping with daily tasks, or construction workers can have robots…
Real time applications such as robotic require real time actions based on the immediate available data. Machine learning and artificial intelligence rely on high volume of training informative data set to propose a comprehensive and useful…
Industries are the biggest workplace all over the world, also there are large number of peoples involves as a worker and most of them are work as a machine operator. There are many systems developed for industrial work place, some of them,…
Multi-robot global localization (MR-GL) with unknown initial positions in a large scale environment is a challenging task. The key point is the data association between different robots' viewpoints. It also makes traditional…
In warehousing systems, to enhance logistical efficiency amid surging demand volumes, much focus is placed on how to reasonably allocate tasks to robots. However, the robots labor is still inevitably wasted to some extent. In response to…
The field of collaborative robotics and human-robot interaction often focuses on the prediction of human behaviour, while assuming the information about the robot setup and configuration being known. This is often the case with fixed…
