NAO-mark vs QR-code Recognition by NAO Robot Vision

Nowadays, the research on robot on-map localization while using landmarks is more intensively dealing with visual code recognition. One of the most popular landmarks of this type is the QR-code. This paper is devoted to the experimental evaluation of vision-based on-map localization procedures that apply QR-codes or NAO marks, as implemented in service robot control systems. In particular, the ...

Football detection on Aldebaran Nao

RoboCup is a worldwide movement that has a clear goal set: the target is to be able to win a FIFA World Cup winner by 2050. In order to be able to fulfill the task, the RoboCup Humanoid Soccer World Cup is organized every year. The organizers make the task of playing football more difficult year-by-year. During the last few years, the goals changed from blue and yellow to white. Considering tha...

GRASPY – Object Manipulation with NAO

In this paper we introduce an online object manipulation system for the NAO robot that is able to detect and grasp an object out of a human hand and then give it back in real-time. Known objects are rendered from 3D models and detected stereo contour-based by using a new stereo vision head for NAO. In order to grasp objects, motion trajectories are generated by an A* planner while avoiding obst...
