Research concerning smartphone assembly has attracted increasing attention from the
manufacturing industry. This paper presents an automatic back shell assembly system using …

Our focus is on creating interesting and human-like behaviors for humanoid robots and
virtual characters. Interactive behaviors are especially engaging. They are also challenging …

We introduceCopper', a generic browser for the Internet of Things based on the Constrained
Application Protocol (CoAP). Current estimates foresee that the number of networked …

Event-based sensors have recently drawn increasing interest in robotic perception due to
their lower latency, higher dynamic range, and lower bandwidth requirements compared to …

A number of active prediction planning and execution (APPE) systems have recently been
proposed for robotic interception of moving objects. The cornerstone of such systems is the …

We demonstrate an integrated sensing and control design for high-speed ballistic
manipulation in two dimensions. We show the effectiveness of a vision-based switched …

In the future, robots may perform cooperative tasks with humans in daily life. In this paper,
the authors focus on a hand-over motion as an example of cooperative work between a …

In order to perform a large variety of tasks in interaction with human or in human
environments, a robot needs to guarantee safety and comfort for humans. In this context, the …

A novel active prediction, planning, and execution (APPE) system is presented for the
robotic interception of moving objects. An APPE system's objective is simply to move the …

Solving current formulations of the time‐optimal point‐to‐point motion problem for robotic
manipulators is a computationally intensive task. Thus, most existing solutions are not …
