The emerging ``Floor plan from human trails (PfH)" technique has great potential for improving indoor robot navigation by predicting the traversability of occluded floors. This study presents an innovative approach that replaces…
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…
In this paper, we present a novel tightly-coupled probabilistic monocular visual-odometric Simultaneous Localization and Mapping algorithm using wheels and a MEMS gyroscope, which can provide accurate, robust and long-term localization for…
This paper introduces an underwater multi-robot platform, named Aucamp, characterized by cost-effective monocular-camera-based sensing, distributed protocol and robust orientation control for localization. We utilize the clarity feature to…
Following a specific user is a desired or even required capability for service robots in many human-robot collaborative applications. However, most existing person-following robots follow people without knowledge of who it is following. In…
This paper proposes an online multi-camera multi-object tracker that only requires monocular detector training, independent of the multi-camera configurations, allowing seamless extension/deletion of cameras without retraining effort. The…
Visual SLAM systems targeting static scenes have been developed with satisfactory accuracy and robustness. Dynamic 3D object tracking has then become a significant capability in visual SLAM with the requirement of understanding dynamic…
Monocular and stereo visions are cost-effective solutions for 3D human localization in the context of self-driving cars or social robots. However, they are usually developed independently and have their respective strengths and limitations.…
In the future, extraterrestrial expeditions will not only be conducted by rovers but also by flying robots. The technical demonstration drone Ingenuity, that just landed on Mars, will mark the beginning of a new era of exploration…
Mobile robots require accurate and robust depth measurements to understand and interact with the environment. While existing sensing modalities address this problem to some extent, recent research on monocular depth estimation has leveraged…
Deep learning has recently started being applied to visual tracking of generic objects in video streams. For the purposes of robotics applications, it is very important for a target tracker to recover its track if it is lost due to heavy or…
Capturing the interactions between humans and their environment in 3D is important for many applications in robotics, graphics, and vision. Recent works to reconstruct the 3D human and object from a single RGB image do not have consistent…
A wide range of human-robot collaborative applications in diverse domains such as manufacturing, health care, the entertainment industry, and social interactions, require an autonomous robot to follow its human companion. Different working…
Person-tracking robots have many applications, such as in security, elderly care, and socializing robots. Such a task is particularly challenging when the person is moving in a Uniform crowd. Also, despite significant progress of trackers…
Tracking with a Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera has been a research topic in computer vision for many years. Compared to tracking with a still camera, the images captured with a PTZ camera are highly dynamic in nature because the camera can…
Humans naturally interact with both others and the surrounding multiple objects, engaging in various social activities. However, recent advances in modeling human-object interactions mostly focus on perceiving isolated individuals and…
Motion capture systems are a widespread tool in research to record ground-truth poses of objects. Commercial systems use reflective markers attached to the object and then triangulate pose of the object from multiple camera views.…
The use of a team of humanoid robots to collaborate in completing a task is an increasingly important field of research. One of the challenges in achieving collaboration, is mutual identification and tracking of the robots. This work…
The precise and continuous tracking of millimetric-sized walkers --such as ants-- is quite important in behavioral studies. However, due to technical limitations, most studies concentrate on trajectories within arenas no more than 100 times…
Unmanned vehicles usually rely on Global Positioning System (GPS) and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors to achieve high-precision localization results for navigation purpose. However, this combination with their associated costs…
