We present an approach for safe, and object-independent human-to-robot handovers using real time robotic vision, manipulation. aim general applicability with a generic object detector, fast grasp selection algorithm, by single gripper-mounted RGB-D camera, hence not relying on external sensors. The robot is controlled via visual servoing towards the of interest. Putting high emphasis safety, we...

In this paper, we present the system design and the key techniques of our mobile robot platform called KeJia-LC, who won the first place in the demo challenge on Benchmarkinng Service Robots in RoboCup 2015. Given the fact that KeJia-LC is a low-cost version of our KeJia robot without shoulder and arm, several new technical demands comparing to RoboCup@Home are highlighted for better understand...

A laser pointer can be a powerful tool for robot control. However, in the past, their use in the field of robotics has been limited to simple target designation, without exploring their potential as versatile input devices. This paper proposes to create a laser pointer-based user interface for giving various instructions to a robot by applying stroke gesture recognition to the laser’s trajector...

A robot functioning in an environment may exhibit various forms of behavior emerge from the interaction with its environment through sense, control and plan activities. Hence, this paper introduces a behaviour selection based navigation and obstacle avoidance algorithm with effective method for adapting robotic behavior according to the environment conditions and the navigated terrain. The deve...

A large application domain for multi-robot teams involves task-oriented missions, in which potentially heterogeneous robots must solve several distinct tasks. Previous research addressing this problem in multi-robot systems has largely focused on issues of ee-ciency, while ignoring the real-world situated robot needs of fault tolerance and adaptivity. This paper addresses this problem by develo...
