Agile manufacturing via adaptive robots is the provision of Industry 4.0 for advanced manufacturing that enables more efficient, lean and cost-effective production. It is considered to be the ultimate solution for mass customization of many manufacturing industries such as aerospace industry hindered by their heavy reliance on manual labor. The current practice of programming a […]

Estimating poses of three dimensional (3D) objects is of great importance to many high level tasks such as robotic manipulation, scene interpretation and augmented reality. Detecting poorly textured objects and estimating their 3D pose is still a challenging problem. The objective and expected result of this research is to develop a systematic and applicable approach […]
