Robotic assistance for people affected by motor deficits is a fast growing field. In this context,
two major challenges remain in terms of automated scene analysis and automated object …

We present an extension to our previously reported real-time scene segmentation approach
which generates a complete hierarchy of segmentation hypotheses. An object classifier …

According to neuro-psychology studies, 3D shape segmentation plays an important role in
human perception of objects because when an object is perceived for grasping it is first …

This paper presents two vision-based interfaces for disabled people to command a mobile
robot for personal assistance. The developed interfaces can be subdivided according to the …

We present an approach for autonomous interactive object segmentation by a humanoid
robot. The visual segmentation of unknown objects in a complex scene is an important …

Upper-body disabled people can benefit from the use of robot-arms to perform every day
tasks. However, the adoption of this kind of technology has been limited by the complexity of …

Executing complex robotic tasks including dexterous grasping and manipulation requires a
combination of dexterous robots, intelligent sensors and adequate object information …

Purpose Development of autonomous robot manipulator for human-robot assembly tasks is
a key component to reach high effectiveness. In such tasks, the robot real-time object …

To enable autonomous manipulation of previously unseen objects, robots must possess
perceptual capabilities for modeling objects in their environment and for observing their …

Understanding human actions is an indispensable capability of humanoid robots which
acquire task knowledge from human demonstration. Segmentation of such continuous …
