Abstract
The future promises lots of robots in our everyday lives; some, perhaps many, of them could look and behave like people but only if being humanoid represents a technological advantage over their relatively utilitarian counterparts.

Vision-based maze navigation for humanoid robots
We present a vision-based approach for navigation of humanoid robots in networks of corridors connected through curves and junctions. The objective of the humanoid is to follow the corridors, walking as close as possible to their center to maximize ...
Stepping over obstacles with humanoid robots
The wide potential applications of humanoid robots require that the robots can walk in complex environments and overcome various obstacles. To this end, we address the problem of humanoid robots stepping over obstacles in this paper. We focus on two ...
