For effective use of learning by imitation with a robot, it is necessary that arobot can adapt to the current state of the external world. The maincontribution of this paper is the optimization of dynamic movementprimitives with respect to the kernel function positions, width, number, andover the entire set of demonstrated movements. We applied the algorithmto a robotic throwing task, where the location of the target is determined bya stereo vision system.

COBISS.SI-ID: 23770151In the talk, I introduced our concept of generating complex robot motions byimplementing sensorimotor learning capabilities of humans. I demonstratedthe feasibility of this concept by presenting several examples of roboticmotion. I also presented some ideas on the neural correlates of humanin-the-loop robot control and showed how the interfaces built for robot skillsynthesis can also be used for probing motor control mechanisms employedby the central nervous system.

COBISS.SI-ID: 24209959The purpose of robot vision is to enable robots to perceive the externalworld in order to perform a large range of tasks such as navigation, visualservoing for object tracking and manipulation, object recognition andcategorization, surveillance, and higher-level decision-making. This bookpresents a snapshot of the wide variety of work in robot vision that iscurrently going on in different parts of the world.
C.01 Editorial board of a foreign/international collection of papers/book
COBISS.SI-ID: 11381531This tutorial treats the following subjects: the basic characteristics of industrial robot mechanisms; a geometric model of robot mechanism; a short introduction into kinematics and dynamics of robots; robot sensors and the planning of robot trajectories; basic control schemes resulting in either desired end-effector trajectory or force; robot grippers and feeding devices, which are described together with the basics of robot vision; the planning of robot assembly; and finally, robot standards and safety are briefly dealt with. Awarded as "Outstanding academic title 2010"
D.10 Educational activities
COBISS.SI-ID: 23409703Invited presentation at the 5th Slovene Innovation Forum. The work describes the development of a infotainment portal in collaboration with industrial partners (Iskratel, ResEvo, Biomed). A prototype system is presented, which is the basis of a system for acquisition and archiving clinical data, currently being developed.
