Autonomous flight of Flap** Wing Micro Air Vehicles (FWMAVs) is a major challenge in
the field of robotics, due to their light weight and the flap**-induced body motions. In this …

Robust, occlusion-aware pose estimation for objects grasped by adaptive hands

B Wen, C Mitash, S Soorian, A Kimmel… - … on Robotics and …, 2020 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Many manipulation tasks, such as placement or within-hand manipulation, require the
object's pose relative to a robot hand. The task is difficult when the hand significantly …

Depth-based object tracking using a robust gaussian filter

J Issac, M Wüthrich, CG Cifuentes… - … on robotics and …, 2016 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider the problem of model-based 3D-tracking of objects given dense depth images
