One such tool is urdf, or Unified Robot Description Format ... Sometimes, you may want to model complex shapes and textures that are not easily defined by simple geometric primitives.

Abstract: In this paper, an improved 2D+t texture completion framework is proposed, providing high visual quality of completed dynamic textures. A Spatiotemporal Autoregressive model (STAR) is used to ...

Abstract: We propose a 2D multi-source data-fusion SLAM system with ... This system is tai-lored to optimize efficiency and accuracy in robot navigation, particularly in low-texture environments. The ...

and the system could speedily produce a 3D model of the bird predicting its shape, color, and texture. NVIDIA opined that autonomous robots could use DIB-R to improve their depth perception ...

That could be set to change thanks to a soft robotic hand which can sense the texture and shape of objects by touching them. The hope is that by creating soft, tactile robots which can feel the ...

But now, researchers from Japan have found specific causal relationships between impressions of robot personality and body texture. In a study published in Advanced Robotics, researchers from ...

In a flash, an octopus can make like ragged-edged seaweed or coral by changing the color and texture of its skin ... skin that can transform from a flat, 2D surface to a three-dimensional one ...

This within-subject comparison revealed that perception (Intelligence, emotion, animateness, guilt, and freshness) was notably more intense when the robot was in motion. The texture experienced while ...
