Consumer robots can accompany children growing up, improving their abilities while playing and entertaining. This paper presents an open-source, practical, low-cost robotic Chinese chess player. The proposed system includes an elaborate mechanical structure, a simple kinematic solution, a novel robo…
Hand pose estimation constitutes prime attainment for human-machine interaction-based applications. Real-time operation is vital in such tasks. Thus, a reliable estimator should exhibit low computational complexity and high precision at the same time. Previous works have explored the regression tech…
Estimating a scene’s depth to achieve collision avoidance against moving pedestrians is a crucial and fundamental problem in the robotic field. This paper proposes a novel, low complexity network architecture for fast and accurate human depth estimation and segmentation in indoor environments, aimin…
A key feature in robotics applications is to recognize whether the current environment observation corresponds to a previously visited location. Should the place be recognized by the robot, a Loop Closure Detection (LCD) has occurred. The letter in hand deploys a novel low complexity LCD method base
Place recognition of pre-visited areas, widely known as Loop Closure Detection (LCD), constitutes one of the most important components in robotic applications, where the robot needs to estimate its pose while navigating through the field (e.g., simultaneous localization and mapping). In this paper,…
