The STanford Artificial Intelligence Robot (STAIR) project is a long-term group effort aimed at producing a viable home and office assistant robot. As a small concrete step towards this goal, we showed a demonstration video at the 2007 AAAI Mobile Robot Exhibition of the STAIR 1 robot responding to a verbal command to fetch an item. Carrying out this task involved the integration of multiple components, including spoken dialog, navigation, computer visual object detection, and robotic grasping. This paper describes the hardware and software integration frameworks used to facilitate the development of these components and to bring them together for the demonstration.
In this paper, we focus on the robot grasping problem with parallel grippers using image data. For this task, we propose and implement an end-to-end approach. In order to detect...
Robot Hands and the Mechanics of Manipulation explores several aspects of the basic mechanics of grasping, pushing, and in general, manipulating objects. It makes a significant ...
This paper presents a unique real-time obstacle avoidance approach for manipulators and mobile robots based on the artificial potential field concept. Collision avoidance, tradi...
In this paper, we propose deformable deep convolutional neural networks for generic object detection.This new deep learning object detection framework has innovations in multipl...
A system architecture has been developed for integration of intraoperative 3D imaging [viz., mobile C-arm cone-beam CT (CBCT)] with surgical navigation (e.g., trackers, endoscop...
