In this paper, we propose a method based on Bayesian networks for interpretation of multimodal signals used in the spoken dialogue between a tour-guide robot and visitors in mass exhibition conditions. We report on experiments interpreting speech and laser ...
In this paper, we propose a Bayesian network framework for managing interactivity between a tour-guide robot and visitors in mass exhibition conditions, through robust interpretation of multi-modal signals. We report on methods and experiments interpreting ...
The Autonomous Systems Lab at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) is engaged in mobile robotics research. The labs research focuses mainly on indoor localization and map building, outdoor locomotion and navigation, and micro mobile r ...
The common configuration for deflecting laser beams in two dimensions is based on two single-axis galvanometric scanners placed perpendicular to each other. Over recent years, these fast scanners have proved to be both very reliable and very accurate. They ...
In order to improve the reliability of micro-spot welding of metal parts in production such as e.g. in electron guns for TV picture tubes, real-time information about the evolution of the welding process should be available to allow on-line modification of ...
Beam distortion profiles are studied for scanning devices that have a single mirror with two rotational degrees of freedom (DOF), also named tip/tilt scanners. The case of a fast steering scanner used for high power material processing applications is stud ...
A dual axis, raster-scanning laser display based on a monolithic micromachined scanning mirror is presented. The scanner consists of a micromirror located at the end of a thermally actuated bimorph beam. The novelty of the device is that an "L"-shape canti ...
This paper discusses mobile robot localization by means of geometric features from a laser range finder and a CCD camera. The features are line segments from the laser scanner and vertical edges from the camera. Emphasis is put on sensor models with a stro ...

A 2 + 1 double-resonance laser-induced fluorescence technique is described in which the high power of a pulsed laser is combined with the narrow bandwidth of a single-mode cw ring dye laser. The combination of these laser systems allows the study of highly ...
