Navigation Functions Learning from Experiments: Application to Anthropomorphic Grasping

Ioannis Filippidis, Kostas Kyriakopoulos and Panagiotis Artemiadis, “Navigation Functions Learning from Experiments: Application to Anthropomorphic Grasping,” IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), pp. 570-575, 2012. [PDF] [External Link] Abstract: This paper proposes a method to construct Navigation Functions (NF) from experimental trajectories in an unknown environment. We want to approximate an unknown obstacle[…]

Autonomous motion planning of a hand-arm robotic system based on captured human-like hand postures

Rosell, J., Suarez, R., Rosales, C. and Pirez A. Autonomous motion planning of a hand-arm robotic system based on captured human-like hand postures. Autonomous Robots, 2011. [PDF][External Link] Abstract: The paper deals with the problem of motion planning of anthropomorphic mechanical hands avoiding collisions and trying to mimic real human hand postures. The approach uses[…]
