Monocular object pose computation with the foveal-peripheral camera of the humanoid robot Armar-III

چکیده
Active contour modelling is useful to fit non-textured objects, and algorithms have been developed to recover the motion of an object and its uncertainty. Here we show that these algorithms can be used also with point features matched in textured objects, and that active contours and point matches complement in a natural way. In the same manner we also show that depth-from-zoom algorithms, developed for zooming cameras, can be exploited also in the foveal-peripheral eye configuration present in the Armar-III humanoid robot.

Issues and Strategies for Robotic Object Manipulation in Domestic Settings
Many robotic tasks such as autonomous navigation, human-machine collaboration, object manipulation and grasping facilitate visual information. Some of the major reasearch and system design issues in terms of visual systems are robustness and flexibility. In this paper, we present a number of visual strategies for robotic object manipulation tasks in natural, domestic environments. Given a compl...
متن کاملCamera Pose Estimation in Unknown Environments using a Sequence of Wide-Baseline Monocular Images
In this paper, a feature-based technique for the camera pose estimation in a sequence of wide-baseline images has been proposed. Camera pose estimation is an important issue in many computer vision and robotics applications, such as, augmented reality and visual SLAM. The proposed method can track captured images taken by hand-held camera in room-sized workspaces with maximum scene depth of 3-4...
متن کاملSimultaneous Grasp and Motion Planning
In this work, we present an integrated approach for planning collision-free grasping motions. The proposed Grasp–RRT planner combines the three main tasks needed for grasping an object: building a feasible grasp, solving the inverse kinematics problem and searching a collision-free trajectory that brings the hand to the grasping pose. Therefore, RRT-based algorithms are used to build a tree of ...
متن کاملHuman-like motion of a humanoid robot arm based on a closed-form solution of the inverse kinematics problem
Humanoid robotics is a new challenging field. To cooperate with human beings, humanoid robots not only have to feature human-like form and structure but, more importantly, they must possess human-like characteristics regarding motion, communication and intelligence. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for solving the inverse kinematics problem associated with the redundant robot arm of the h...
متن کاملA dialogue approach to learning object descriptions and semantic categories
Acquiring new knowledge through interactive learning mechanisms is a key ability for humanoid robots in a natural environment. Such learning mechanisms need to be performed autonomously, and through interaction with the environment or with other agents/humans. In this paper, we describe a dialogue approach and a dynamic object model for learning semantic categories, object descriptions, and new...
