Since humans and robots are increasingly sharing portions of their operational spaces, experimental evidence is needed to ascertain the safety and social acceptability of robots in human-populated environments. Although several studies have aimed at ...
Commercial visual-inertial odometry (VIO) systems have been gaining attention as cost-effective, off-the-shelf, six-degree-of-freedom (6-DoF) ego-motion-tracking sensors for estimating accurate and consistent camera pose data, in addition to their ab...
Regardless of recent advances, humanoid robots still face significant difficulties in performing locomotion tasks. Among the key challenges that must be addressed to achieve robust bipedal locomotion are dynamically consistent motion planning, feedba...
A climbing robot that can rapidly move on diverse surfaces such as floors, walls, and ceilings will have an enlarged operational workspace compared with other terrestrial robots. However, the climbing skill of robots in such environments has been lim...
Recent decades have witnessed the growing importance of human motion detection systems based on artificial intelligence (AI). The growing interest in human motion detection systems is the advantages of automation in the monitoring of patients remotel...
The artificial biomimetic sensory hair as state-of-art electronics has drawn great attention from academic theorists of industrial production given its potential application in soft robotics, environmental exploration and health monitoring. However, ...
Path planning plays an important role in navigation and motion planning for robotics and automated driving applications. Most existing methods use iterative frameworks to calculate and plan the optimal path from the starting point to the endpoint. It...
