Abstract As usher in Industry 4.0, there has been much interest in the development and
research that combine artificial intelligence with automation. The control and operation of …

The process of planning views to observe a scene is known as the Next Best View (NBV)
problem. Approaches often aim to obtain high-quality scene observations while reducing the …

We present an integrated gras** system for a mobile manipulator to grasp an unknown
object of interest (OI) in an unknown environment. The system autonomously scans its …

Field of view limitations are one of the major persisting setbacks for camera-based motion
tracking systems and the need for flexible ways to improve capture volumes remains. We …

Visual servoing is a well-known task in robotics. However, there are still challenges when
multiple visual sources are combined to accurately guide the robot or occlusions appear. In …

Traditional feature-based monocular visual simultaneous localization and map** (vSLAM)
methods suffer from frequent tracking failure in low-texture scenes. Although tracking …

Adding to the number of sources of sensory information can be efficacious in enhancing the
object detection capability of robots. In the realm of vision-based object detection, in addition …

Motion tracking systems with viewpoint concerns or whose marker data include unreliable
states have proven difficult to use despite many impactful benefits. We propose a technique …

The accuracy and portability of depth cameras have increased by a lot in recent years, which
allows for advanced 3D scanning of the environment for robotic applications. In this thesis …
