Augmented reality (AR) allows to seamlessly insert virtual objects in an image sequence. In
order to accomplish this goal, it is important that synthetic elements are rendered and …

Although the concept of industrial cobots dates back to 1999, most present day hybrid
human–machine assembly systems are merely weight compensators. Here, we present …

Industrial robots working in isolation in a highly automated system are valued for their high
productivity. The shortcomings of these pure robotic cells become more apparent when …

We conducted a literature review on sensor heads for humanoid robots. A strong case is
made on topics involved in human robot interaction. Having found that vision is the most …

Background Intra‐operative imaging is widely used to provide visual feedback to a clinician
when he/she performs a procedure. In visual servoing, surgical instruments and parts of …

The current paradigm of robot-assisted surgeries (RASs) depends entirely on an individual
surgeon's manual capability. Autonomous robotic surgery—removing the surgeon's hands …

Search and Rescue (SAR) missions represent an important challenge in the robotics
research field as they usually involve exceedingly variable-nature scenarios which require a …

Tracking is a very important research subject in a real-time augmented reality context. The
main requirements for trackers are high accuracy and little latency at a reasonable cost. In …

In this letter, we propose a novel approach to automatically control the 3D shape of
deformable wires using robots. Our approach proposes a novel visual feature along with a …

The problem of estimating position and orientation (pose) of an object in real time constitutes
an important issue for vision-based control of robots. Many vision-based pose-estimation …
