In this paper we propose a new method of object modeling for environment perception through human-robot interaction. Particularly, within a multi-modal object modeling architecture, we tackle the gestural language part using a stereo camera. To do that, we define three human gestures based on the size of target objects; holding small objects, pointing at medium ones, and contacting two corner points...
A jumping robot capable of moving on a ground and jumping over a surmountable obstacle is introduced. The robot patrols a harsh environment by rolling or jumping, delivering environmental information to user. While conventional robots usually detour for any kind of encountered obstacles by rolling or climbing, the jump robot jumps over the obstacle once it is surmountable. This dedicates to saving...
A swarm-bot connected physically from two independent robots is introduced how it aims at avoiding obstacles or climbing up/down stairs. The design and fabrication are addressed and its movement control, obstacle identification and avoidance are also introduced. Utilizing the fast mobility of the vehicle robot and cooperating between robots enlarge the swarm robot's applications. An algorithm for...
