Statistical Recognition of Motion Patterns
One key prerequisite for a machine to interact intelligently with people is its ability to recognize humans as interaction partners and to understand...
-
The Control Architecture of Care-O-bot II
Robot assistants act in dynamic environments and have to cope with changing situations: they must be able to sense the world and to control their...
-
Robotic Home Assistant Care-O-bot II
Technical aids allow elderly and handicapped people to live independently in their private homes as long as they wish. As a contribution to these...

Next Generation Teach Pendants for Industrial Robots
Teach pendants for industrial robots have sometimes been quite rudimentary in the past, and often enough users had to learn to cope with whatever is...
-
Learning Behavioral Sequences by Means of Nonlinear Dynamics
We present a software architecture for the behavioral organization of a mobile robot which is entirely based on nonlinear dynamical systems. The...

Motion Planning for Domestic Robot Assistants
Service robots serve and assist human beings sharing a common work space. Collision-free motion paths have to be generated in short times for a...
-
1 Multi-modal Robot Interfaces
The goal of effective interaction between user and robot assistant makes it essential to provide a number of broadly utilizable and potentially...
