Most studies have focused on whether hospital admissions have been reduced by the introduction of crisis services, rather than focusing on how these services are employed. Research has also shown that home assistance decreases costs and increases the level of patient satisfaction, thereby being more efficient in terms of the cost/effectiveness ratio than is traditional...
Robot motor skill learning is currently one of the most active research areas in robotics. Many learning techniques have been developed for relatively simple problems. However, very few of them have direct applicability in complex robotics systems without assuming prior knowledge about the task due to two facts. On one hand, they scale badly to continues and high dimensional problems. On the other...
Robot grasping and manipulation require very accurate knowledge of the object's location within the robotic hand. By itself, a vision system cannot provide very precise and robust pose tracking due to occlusions or hardware limitations. This paper presents a method to estimate a grasped object's 6D pose by fusing sensor data from vision, tactile sensors and joint encoders. Given an initial pose acquired...
Time-of-Flight (ToF) cameras provide 3D point-cloud data in real time, even in case of changing illumination conditions. Thanks to their advantages in comparison to classic vision techniques, ToF devices have been already used in several application fields but their suitability in aerial scenarios is still under study. Thus, this paper presents the evaluation of a new approach for detecting an aerial...
