Balancing a normal pencil on its tip requires rapid feedback control with latencies on the order of milliseconds. This demonstration shows how a pair of spike-based silicon retina dynamic vision sensors (DVS) is used to provide fast visual feedback for controlling an actuated table to balance an ordinary pencil. Two DVSs view the pencil from right angles. Movements of the pencil cause spike address-events...
Microsoft recently announced the release of Microsoft robotics studio (MSRS) for developing applications for robots. By itself, it is interesting to see this new toolkit, but it should appeal beyond those interested in programming robots. In this research, MSRS is used to control the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robot motion using Webcam for road sign recognition. MSRS software, Sensors, and Motors are used...
This paper presents a simultaneous localization and mapping algorithm (SLAM) by using a new 3D sensor namely the photonic mixer devices (PMD). The PMD camera enables 3D image grabbing within a few milliseconds and gives an important impulse in visual 3D sensing. This camera is capable of capturing reliable depth images directly in real-time. The PMD is also compact and affordable, which makes it attractive...
The recognition and localization of objects in space is of fundamental interest in many robot vision applications, especially in those that are supposed to provide services to human beings. The trivial example of any such task is manipulation, i.e., providing a robot the means of handling objects. In this work, we discuss the chances and the problems experienced when using a time-of-flight camera...
