This paper describes the mechanical, electrical and software design of the humanoid robot systems by TH_MOS in KidSize competition RoboCup. The improved MOS_III and newly designed MOS2007 perform as test bed for multiple research fields in the lab, such as locomotion, dynamical vision processing, robot behavior control. A gait planning strategy is proposed and a vision processing method is impl...

This paper describes methods pertaining to the vision-guided robotic control of fabric motion for performing simulated joining operations for apparel manufacturing. The determination of robot motion paths is based on visual information defining the position of the fabric edges in world coordinates. The usefulness of the shape analysis and motion control algorithms is demonstrated via experiment...

Ninety-four per cent of the vision loss and blindness in Indigenous Australians is caused by conditions that are preventable with access to eye examinations and timely treatment. Vision loss causes significant loss to reported sense of well being and increases the risk of falls, depression and hip fractures, with those experiencing vision loss usingmorehealth services.More thanone-thirdof Indig...

Spatial representations are useful in computer vision, graphics, Geographic Information Systems (GIS’s), diagrammatic reasoning, and robot motion planning, to name a few. The representations may be geometric, topological, statistical and symbolic in nature. Depending on the domain and the application, there are a wide variety of methods available to represent space and perform computations and ...

This paper presents an automatic multi-view selection approach for 3D reconstruction by means of a laser scanning vision system. It is realized based on the visual region of the laser scanning vision system. The candidate next best view (NBV) position is obtained by computing the unknown space area according to the limit visual region of the vision system. The final NBV position, which can acqu...

This paper proposes a survey of vision-based human computer interfaces for several key-fields in health care: data visualization for image-guided diagnosis, image-guided therapy planning and surgery, the operating room, assistance to motor-impaired patients, and monitoring and support of elderly. The emphasis is on the contribution of the underlying computer vision techniques to the usability a...

Vision is an important sensor used for mobile robot navigation. One approach to localization which is based on vision is to compute camera egomotion with respect to base images. What characterizes this method of localazation is that its performance varies greatly in different positions. Active navigation is an approach to path and sensing planning which is designed to address varying performanc...

In a dynamic situation like robot soccer any individual player can only observe a limited portion of their environment at any given time. As such to develop strategies based upon planning and cooperation between different players it is imperative that they be able to share information which may or may not be in any individual player’s field of vision. In this paper we propose a method for multi...

This paper describes a visually guided robot that can plan paths, construct maps and explore an indoor environment. The robot uses a trinocular stereo vision system to produce highly accurate depth images at 2 Hz allowing it to safely travel through the environment at 0.5 m/s. The algorithm integrates stereo vision, occupancy grid mapping, and potential field path planning techniques to form a ...
