Proceedings ArticleDOI
Development of a Person Following Robot with Vision Based Target Detection
Takashi Yoshimi,Manabu Nishiyama,Takafumi Sonoura,Hideichi Nakamoto,Seiji Tokura,Hirokazu Sato,Fumio Ozaki,Nobuto Matsuhira,Hiroshi Mizoguchi +8 more
TL;DR: The newly developed algorithm allows the robot to extract a particular individual from a cluttered background, and to find and reconnect with the person if it loses visual contact.
Journal ArticleDOI
Depth Image-Based Deep Learning of Grasp Planning for Textureless Planar-Faced Objects in Vision-Guided Robotic Bin-Picking.
Ping Jiang,Yoshiyuki Ishihara,Sugiyama Nobukatsu,Junji Oaki,Seiji Tokura,Atsushi Sugahara,Akihito Ogawa +6 more
TL;DR: A surface feature descriptor is proposed to extract surface features (center position and normal) and refine the predicted grasp point position, removing the need for texture features for vision-guided robot control and sim-to-real modification for DCNN model training.
Proceedings Article
Development of robotic transportation system - Shopping support system collaborating with environmental cameras and mobile robots -
Nobuto Matsuhira,Fumio Ozaki,Seiji Tokura,Takafumi Sonoura,Tsuyoshi Tasaki,Hideki Ogawa,Masahito Sano,Akiko Numata,Naohisa Hashimoto,Kiyoshi Komoriya +9 more
TL;DR: A robotic transportation system for shopping assistance has been developed and the guidance robot was able to guide the person to his/her desired place and to follow the person, and the cart robot was ability to carry the articles while a shopping demonstration.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Mobile robot self-localization based on tracked scale and rotation invariant feature points by using an omnidirectional camera
TL;DR: A navigation robot ApriTau™ that had an omnidirectional camera on its top could localize 2.9 times faster and 4.2 times more accurately by using the developed method than by using only the SURF method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Background sensing control for planning agents working in the real world
TL;DR: A new background sensing control technique is introduced by which planning agents can effectively observe the real environment and obtain important information when necessary during the plan execution.
