Current image acquisition devices require tremendous amounts of storage for saving the data returned. This paper overcomes the latter drawback through proposing a colour reduction technique which first subdivides the image ...

A challenge in real time application of NAO soccer robots is in colour calibration. Many tasks such as localisation and goal detection rely on robustness of colour calibration. In this paper a robust and accurate YUV colour ...

After the publication of this work [1], it was noticed that the co-author Pejman Rasti was omitted as the first author following an institutional investigation. The first author’s name is inserted in this erratum article.

Among numerous applications of medical robotics, this paper concentrates on the design, optimal use and maintenance of the related technologies in the context of healthcare, rehabilitation and assistive robotics, and ...

A challenge in NAO soccer robots is colour calibration. Good colour calibration can result in robust and accurate self-localization of the robot. Currently manual calibration is the only solution, which is used. In this ...

NAO humanoid robots are being used in many human-robot interaction applications. One of the important existing challenges is developing an accurate real-time face recognition system which does not require to have high ...
