In domestic robotics, passing through narrow areas becomes critical for safe and effective
robot navigation. Due to factors like sensor noise or miscalibration, even if the free space is …

This paper addresses the problem of building augmented metric representations of scenes
with semantic information from RGB-D images. We propose a complete framework to create …

For the indoor navigation of service robots, human–robot interaction and adapting to the
environment still need to be strengthened, including determining the navigation goal …

The assistive robotics field works with technologies aimed at assisting people with physical
impairments. Simple tasks like passing through doorways can be a significant challenge for …

Shared-autonomy approaches are the most appealing for what concerns the control of
assistive devices such as wheelchairs and mobile robots, designed to aid disabled and …

Earliest records of a wheeled chair used to transport a person with disability dates back to
the 6th century in China. With the exception of the collapsible X-frame wheelchairs invented …

In this work we propose an online trajectory planner for humanoid walking. It is based on the
observer trajectory planning problem where the moving observer (humanoid) should …
