Journal article
Lio-a personal robot assistant for human-robot interaction and care applications
IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters
Describes Lio, a personal robot assistant that combines a mobile base, a robot arm and sensing for interaction with people in care settings.
Why it matters: Useful when judging assistive and service robots: safety around people, autonomy and acceptance matter as much as the demo.

Preprint
3D vision guided robotic charging station for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles
arXiv:1703.05381
A robotic charging station that uses 3D vision to locate a vehicle's charging port and plug in the connector automatically.
Why it matters: A compact example of perception-guided manipulation under real-world variation, a recurring question when assessing automation claims.

Conference paper
Automatic calibration of a robot manipulator and multi 3d camera system
IEEE/SICE International Symposium on System Integration
A method to calibrate a robot arm and several 3D cameras automatically, so they share one coordinate frame without manual measurement.
Why it matters: Calibration is a hidden cost in multi-sensor robot cells; automating it affects deployment time and maintenance.
