Continuum Robots in Surgery: From Engineering Design to Clinical Practice

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
The hyper‐redundant nature of continuum robot structures enables near‐infinite degrees of freedom leading to immense potential for medical applications. This review provides a historical background of continuum robots and novel ideas shaping their progress to current structural design, sensing technology, modeling techniques, and control methods.

3D Scene Understanding: From Segments To Volumes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Segmentation is one of the fundamental computer vision problems and has been investigated over years. In this thesis, we present algorithms for RGB-D image segmentation, and more importantly, the additional information that can be inferred from ...

Extending visual perception with haptic exploration for improved scene understanding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Scene understanding has been investigated from a mainly visual information point of view. Recently depth has been provided an extra wealth of information, allowing more geometric knowledge to fuse into scene understanding.

Using Ignorance in 3D Scene Understanding [PDF]

open access: yesMathematical Problems in Engineering, 2014
Awareness of its own limitations is a fundamental feature of the human sight, which has been almost completely omitted in computer vision systems. In this paper we present a method of explicitly using information about perceptual limitations of a 3D vision system, such as occluded areas, limited field of view, loss of precision along with distance ...

UC Food Waste: A Multimodal Robotic Perception Dataset for Robust Contaminant Detection in Complex Biowaste Scenes

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A balanced multimodal food‐waste dataset and a novel Split Spatial‐Spectral Attention fusion framework are presented for robotic contaminant detection. Separate processing of RGB, thermal, and multispectral inputs preserves subtle material signatures before feature integration, reducing modality interference and improving classification and ...

Deeply Guided Lightweight 3D Scene Understanding Method and Its Application in Mobile Robot Perception [PDF]

open access: yesITM Web of Conferences
To address the core issues faced by edge-side 3D scene perception of mobile robots, such as the difficulty of balancing accuracy and real-time performance, insufficient multi-task fusion, and deviations in depth geometric consistency, this paper proposes

Indoor 3D Scene Understanding Using Depth Sensors

open access: yes, 2020
One of the main goals in computer vision is to achieve a human-like understanding of images. Nevertheless, image understanding has been mainly studied in the 2D image frame, so more information is needed to relate them to the 3D world. With the emergence
