Recently, snake-like robots are proposed to assist experts during medical procedures on
internal organs via natural orifices. Despite their well-spelt advantages, applications in …

Described is a robotic visual perception system for determining a position and pose of a
three-dimensional object. The system receives an external input to select an object of …

Although the human mirror neuron system (MNS) is critical for action observation and
imitation, most MNS investigations overlook the visuospatial transformation processes that …

Perception-action cycle is the circular flow of information that takes place between an
organism and its environment in the course of a sensory-guided sequence of actions …

A visual servo control system combines with the model-based image segmentation and an
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm to design an excellent six-Degree-of-Freedom (6 …

This paper proposes a computational model for learning robot control and sequence
planning based on the ideomotor principle. This model encodes covariation laws between …

In most human-robot interfaces, the user completely controls the robot that operates as a
passive tool without adaptation capabilities. However, a synergetic human-robot interface …

The human hand's versatility allows for robust and flexible grasping. To obtain such
efficiency, many robotic hands include human biomechanical features such as fingers …

We explore different strategies to overcome the problem of sensorimotor transformation that
babies face during development, especially in the case of tool-use. From a developmental …

Ma thèse porte sur l'intégration développementale de différents systèmes d'apprentissage
dans un robot, du babillage moteur à l'émergence de l'utilisation d'outils. L'utilisation d'outils …
