This work presents a robust visual localization technique based on an omnidirectional monocular sensor for mobile robotics applications.We intend to overcome the non-linearities and instabilities that the camera projection Used Shin Guards systems typically introduce, which are especially relevant in catadioptric sensors.In this paper, we come up w
Actively listening twin robots for long-duration conversation with the elderly
Abstract The number of isolated elderly people with few opportunities to talk to other My Little Pony people is currently increasing.Research is ongoing to develop talking robots for addressing the situation.The aim of the present study was to develop a talking robot that could converse with elderly people over an extended period.To enable long-dur
Inorganic composition of suspended sediments in the Acre river, Amazon Basin, Brazil
The purpose Table of this study was to determine the chemical and mineralogical composition of suspended sediments from the Acre River, located in the Purus Basin, upper Amazon basin, a region associated with the Fitzcarrald Arch.The elemental and mineralogical compositions of the sediments were assessed by using mass and atomic spectroscopy, and X
