This article addresses the problem of recovering a tridimensional scene from only one uncalibrated static camera and images from planar mirrors. We present a linear solution for 3D Euclidean reconstruction based on multiocular geometry, epipolar geometry and projective geometric properties. From the recovered points of the scene we can obtain information related with distances, areas, curvatures, dimensions and even volumes of its objects. A system based on this technique could be applied on the industry, in tasks of great importance, such as the quality tests and metrology inspection. The system is simple, low cost and could achieve good performance.

A new methodology is proposed for the design of path following systems for autonomous marine craft in the presence of constant but unknown currents. Convergence to reference paths is achieved with a nonlinear control strategy that takes explicitly into account the dynamics of the vehicle as well as those of a current estimator. Formal convergence proofs are indicated. Simulation results with the model of a prototype marine craft are presented to illustrate the performance of the path following system derived.

Addresses the problem of navigation system design for autonomous aircraft landing. Nonlinear filter structures are introduced to estimate the position of an aircraft with respect to a possibly moving landing site, such as a naval vessel, based on measurements provided by airborne vision and inertial sensors. Original results that address this problem are presented in Kaminer et al. (1999). In this paper these results are extended to include stereo vision. A detailed example that illustrates the use of the filters is also included.

Path planning for multiple mobile robots is complicated by the presence of a dynamic environment, in which obstacles and other robots are moving. Centralized approaches are too computationally intensive for real-time response. Decoupled approaches which perform individual preplanning, conflict resolution, and reactive obstacle avoidance for each robot, can be globally inefficient. We propose a novel mission coordination architecture, CP AD (Checkpoint/Priority/Action Database), which performs path planning via checkpoint and dynamic priority assignment, using statistical estimates of the environment’s motion structure in order to make both preplanning and reactive behaviors more efficient. Simulation is used to validate and illustrate the approach
Tracking in 3D with an active vision system depends on the performance of both motor control and vision algorithms. Tracking is performed based on different visual behaviors, namely smooth pursuit and vergence control...

Describes how to design a data fusion module for skill transfer purposes. The data fusion paradigm is addressed. It consists of two independent modules for optimal fusion and filtering. A new interpretation of the Kalman filter equations is done, to achieve a "model-free" equation capable of following arbitrary variables. An engineering approach is used to tune the parameters of interest for a certain task. The fusion algorithm presented is global, and could easily be extended to any arbitrary system. It was successfully tested in the institute of robotics and System Dynamics at the DLR.

In modern robotics, the robot is seen not as a mechanical unit, but instead as an intelligent unit, with planning and cognitive structures that are capable of making intelligent decisions and of helping human beings in high-level and interactive tasks. A new generation of robots is ready to emerge: human-oriented robots. In the near future, they should be able to perform perfect human-robot symbiosis, such as helping disabled people in their basic day-to-day problems. A key issue to accomplish this goal is the development of robust skill transfer systems, in order to teach some basic tasks in a natural way. This paper describes the design of a data fusion module for skill transfer applications. It consists of two independent modules for optimal fusion and filtering. A different interpretation of the Kalman filter equations is made, in order to achieve a "model-free" equation that is capable of following arbitrary variables. The presented fusion algorithm is global, and could easily be extended to any arbitrary system. It was successfully tested in the institute of robotics and System Dynamics at the German Aerospace Centre (DLR).
