We describe an interactive approach for visual object analysis which exploits the ability of a robot to manipulate its environment. Knowledge of objects' mechanical properties is important in a host of robotics tasks, but their measurement can be impractical due to perceptual or mechanical limitatio
For agile, accurate autonomous robotics, it is desirable to plan motion in the presence of uncertainty. The Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) provides a principled framework for this. Despite the tremendous advances of POMDP-based planning, most can only solve problems with a smal…
Legged robots offer the potential of locomotion across various types of terrains. Different terrains require different gait patterns to enable greater traversal efficiency. Consequently, as a legged robot transitions from one type of terrain to another, the gait pattern should be adapted so as to ma…
