Learning of Grasp Adaptation through Experience and Tactile Sensing

Aude Billard, Miao Li

To perform robust grasping, a multi-fingered robotic hand should be able to adapt its grasping configuration, i.e., how the object is grasped, to maintain the stability of the grasp. Such a change of grasp configuration is called grasp adaptation and it de ...

Nanoscale motion detector

Giovanni Dietler, Sandor Kasas, Giovanni Longo

Motion detector comprising a flexible support (1,5) adapted to hold at least one object (6-9), a sensor (4) for measuring the displacement of said support (1) and processing means for differentiating the fluctuations of said support (1) from those induced ...

Hot or Not: Interactive Content Search Using Comparisons

Amin Karbasi

In comparison-based active learning, a user searching for a target object navigates through a database in the following manner. The user is asked to select the object most similar to her target from small list of objects. A new object list is then presente ...

Acquiring functional object knowledge through motor imagery?

Michiel van Elk

A widely investigated question in the research on the acquisition of novel functional object representations is the role of the action system. Whereas most studies so far have investigated the role of active action training on the acquisition of object rep ...

Vehicle recognition from multi-spectral and LiDAR elevation data with object-oriented analysis

André-Gilles Dumont, Sofia Samoili

This research study addresses issues of transport modeling aiming to the recognition of vehicles, with perspective to generate a knowledge base for an automatic recognition of vehicles from similar type of data. Based on two datasets consisted of multi-spe ...

Extended Keyframe Detection with Stable Tracking for Multiple 3D Object Tracking

Vincent Lepetit

We present a method that is able to track several 3D objects simultaneously, robustly, and accurately in real time. While many applications need to consider more than one object in practice, the existing methods for single object tracking do not scale well ...

Manipulable objects facilitate cross-modal integration in peripersonal space

Olaf Blanke, Michiel van Elk

Previous studies have shown that tool use often modifies one's peripersonal space - i.e. the space directly surrounding our body. Given our profound experience with manipulable objects (e.g. a toothbrush, a comb or a teapot) in the present study we hypothe ...

Path Prediction and Predictive Range Querying in Spatial Network Databases

Ho Young Jeung

In automotive applications, movement-path prediction enables the delivery of predictive and relevant services to drivers, e.g., reporting traffic conditions and gas stations along the route ahead. Path prediction also enables better results of predictive r ...

Pose Estimation for Category Specific Multiview Object Localization

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Mustafa Özuysal

We propose an approach to overcome the two main challenges of 3D multiview object detection and localization: The variation of object features due to changes in the viewpoint and the variation in the size and aspect ratio of the object. Our approach procee ...

Evaluating Top-k Queries over Incomplete Data Streams

Karl Aberer, Sebastian Michel, Parisa Haghani

We study the problem of continuous monitoring of top-k queries over multiple non-synchronized streams. Assuming a sliding window model, this general problem has been a well addressed research topic in recent years. However, most approaches assume the strea ...
