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 ...
Social technologies are leading to transformations in education, by empowering the way learners connect to each other, by introducing new means for teaching and learning and by reshaping the way knowledge is delivered. Annotating texts is a learning strate ...
We present an automatic framework to extract color palettes from words. This is a novel approach in comparison to existing solutions, e.g. manual creation or extraction from images. The associations between words and colors are deduced from a large databas ...
TDOA- (time difference of arrival-) based algorithms are common methods for speech source localization. The generalized cross correlation (GCC) method is the most important approach for estimating TDOA between microphone pairs. The performance of this meth ...
We propose a novel approach to synthesizing images that are effective for training object detectors. Starting from a small set of real images, our algorithm estimates the rendering parameters required to synthesize similar images given a coarse 3D model of ...

Population-based learning techniques have been proven to be effective in dealing with noise and are thus promising tools for the optimization of robotic controllers, which have inherently noisy performance evaluations. This article discusses how the result ...
At the time of writing, highly dexterous hand prostheses are being manufactured and, to some extent, marketed. This means wearable, implantable mechanical hands with many independently controllable degrees of freedom, e.g. finger flexion and thumb rotation ...
The present invention relates to searching, in particular guided searching through a database of stored objects. A user is presented with proposals of objects and is invited to select the objects she considers closest to the intended objective of her searc ...
We study the problem of navigating/searching through a database of objects with potentially different popularities using a membership oracle. The membership oracle, given a subset of objects A, and a target object t, determines whether A contains t ...
