This article provides a detailed description of the membrane-based sterility testing process, the use case selected in the Horizon Europe project TraceBot for demonstrating the benefit of agile robotics in a laboratory setting and its interest for …
In the European project EUROBENCH, we are developing a framework for benchmarking the performances of bipedal systems: from humans to humanoids through wearable robots. Fair benchmarking requires defining and sharing clear and complete protocols so …
This paper is related to the observation of human operator manipulating objects for teaching a robot to reproduce the action. Assuming the robotic system is equipped with basic manipulation skills, we focus here on the automatic segmentation of the …
Detection and description of keypoints from an image is a well-studied problem in Computer Vision. Some methods like SIFT, SURF or ORB are computationally really efficient. This paper proposes a solution for a particular case study on object …
This paper describes a tool for generating ROS packages and nodes. Compared to the relatively basic traditional package creation method, this tool can generate a whole node structure, including its life-cycle and the exposed interface to other ROS …
This article deals with the representation of the pivot point created when inserting an endoscope in the human body during a surgery application. Several robotic-based surgical solutions use the well-known spherical coordinates to define the pose of …
Vision-based hand gesture recognition relies on the extraction of features describing the hand, and the appropriate set of features is usually selected in an empirical manner. We propose in this article a systematic selection of the best features to …
