Multi-contact tactile exploration and interaction with unknown objects

Humans rely on the sense of touch in almost every aspect of daily life, whether to tie shoelaces, place fingertips on a computer keyboard or find keys inside a bag. With robots moving into human-centered environment, tactile exploration becomes more and mo ...

Real-time model-based plasma state estimation, monitoring and integrated control in TCV, ASDEX-Upgrade and ITER

Olivier Sauter, Stefano Coda, Jean-Marc Moret, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Cristian Galperti, Anna Teplukhina

To maintain a high-performance, long-duration tokamak plasma scenario, it is necessary to maintain desired profiles while respecting operational limits. This requires real-time estimation of the profiles, monitoring of their evolution with respect to predi ...

The symmetry of partner modelling

Pierre Dillenbourg, Nicolas Nova, Séverin Lemaignan, Mirweis Sangin, Gaëlle Molinari

Collaborative learning has often been associated with the construction of a shared understanding of the situation at hand. The psycholinguistics mechanisms at work while establishing common grounds are the object of scientific controversy. We postulate tha ...

Dynamic Grasp Adaptation

Miao Li

The human hand is an amazing tool, demonstrated by its incredible motor capability and remarkable sense of touch. To enable robots to work in a human-centric environment, it is desirable to endow robotic hands with human-like capabilities for grasping and ...

A Novel Representation of Parts for Accurate 3D Object Detection and Tracking in Monocular Images

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Kwang Moo Yi, Alberto Crivellaro, Yannick Verdie, Mahdi Rad

We present a method that estimates in real-time and under challenging conditions the 3D pose of a known object. Our method relies only on grayscale images since depth cameras fail on metallic objects; it can handle poorly textured objects, and cluttered, c ...

L’invention partagée (Michel Lussault, L’avènement du Monde)

Jacques Lévy

"L’avènement du Monde" by Michel Lussault offers a substantial and innovative spatial theory of an object, the World. Space is addressed both as a technical system and a society, and each of these approaches generates an overall, panoramic view. In additio ...

From Image-level to Pixel-level Labeling with Convolutional Networks

Ronan Collobert, Pedro Henrique Oliveira Pinheiro

We are interested in inferring object segmentation by leveraging only object class information, and by considering only minimal priors on the object segmentation task. This problem could be viewed as a kind of weakly supervised segmentation task, and natur ...

A Thrifty Universal Construction

Rachid Guerraoui, Cheng Wang

A universal construction is an algorithm which transforms any sequential implementation of an object into a concurrent implementation of that same object in a linearizable and wait-free manner. Such constructions require underlying low-level universal shar ...

Generalization of motor resonance during the observation of hand, mouth, and eye movements

Michela Bassolino

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the motor cortex shows that hand action observation (AO) modulates corticospinal excitability (CSE). CSE modulation alternatively maps low-level kinematic characteristics or higher-level features, like object-dire ...

Learning to Track: Online Multi-object Tracking by Decision Making

Alexandre Massoud Alahi

Online Multi-Object Tracking (MOT) has wide applications in time-critical video analysis scenarios, such as robot navigation and autonomous driving. In tracking-by-detection, a major challenge of online MOT is how to robustly associate noisy object detecti ...
