This paper implements a real-time hand gesture recognition algorithm based on the
inexpensive Kinect sensor. The use of a depth sensor allows for complex 3D gestures where the …

Mapping dynamic environments is an open issue in the field of robotics. In this paper, we
extend the well known Occupancy Grid structure to address the problem of generating valid …

This paper investigates proactive task-related Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) in human
environments. The presented approach eventually aims for multi-modality by combining speech, …

With the spread of low-cost haptic devices, haptic interfaces appear in many areas in the
field of robotics. Recently, haptic devices have been used in the field of mobile robot …

The flow of data coming from modern sensing devices enables the development of novel
research techniques related to data management and knowledge extraction. In this work, we …

In this paper we present an integrated approach for efficient online 3D semantic map building
of urban environments and the subsequent extraction of qualitative spatial relationships …

In this paper, an approach is presented that allows a robot to navigate in an urban environment
by following natural language route instructions. In this situation, neither maps nor GPS …

This paper presents results achieved in the frames of a national research project (titled
ldquoDIANOEMArdquo), where visual analysis and sign recognition techniques have been …

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping in dynamic environments is an open issue in the
field of robotics. Traditionally, the related approaches assume that the environment remains …

Robotic mapping comprises one of the most important problems in the field of robotics. During
the past two decades, a large number of algorithms have been proposed in order to solve …
