In vision-based robotic manipulation, it is usually required that the object should present a
desired shape or be viewed at a specific angle to facilitate subsequent operations such as …

Tethers are used to supply power and transfer data for teleoperated robots. They are known
to limit the robot's workspace and could have the effect of hampering its motion. What if we …

In this paper we present an automated system that is able to track and grasp a moving object
within the workspace of a manipulator using range images acquired with a Microsoft Kinect …

An adaptive shape servoing control method is presented in this article to manipulate a
deformable object into a desired shape in 3-D. A finite-point-based representation of the …

In this paper we present a novel approach to robust visual servoing. This method removes
the feature tracking step from a typical visual servoing algorithm. We do not need …

In this paper, we propose an adaptive shape servoing method to deform a soft object into a
desired 3-D shape. The high dimensional representation and the unknown deformation …

Moving object tracking is one of the key technologies in video surveillance. Mean shift
algorithm fails to track the moving object in complicated environment. In this paper, a new …

This thesis addresses visual tracking of a non-cooperative as well as a partially cooperative
satellite, to enable close-range rendezvous between a servicer and a target satellite. Visual …

Performing motion tracking in real-time is an old and recurrent problem in computer vision. It
has been addressed through a large set of approaches but achieving a high level of …

This paper considers a robust direct homography tracking that takes advantage of the known
intrinsic parameters of the camera to estimate its pose in real scale, to speed-up the …
