Abstract. This paper describes an interactive demonstration by the AllemaniACs domestic service robot Caesar. In a home-like environment Caesar s task is to help setting the table. Besides basic capabilities of an autonomous mobile robot it uses methods for human-

Multi-armed Bandit Formulation of the Task Partitioning Problem in Swarm Robotics
free download

Task partitioning is a way of organizing work consisting in the decomposition of a task into smaller sub-tasks that can be tackled separately. Task partitioning can be beneficial in terms of reduction of physical interference, increase of efficiency, higher parallelism, and

Swarm Robotics: A Review from the Swarm Engineering Perspective
free download

Abstract Swarm robotics is an approach to collective robotics that takes inspiration from the self-organized behaviors of social animals. Through simple rules and local interactions, swarm robotics aims at designing robust, scalable and flexible collective behaviors for the

NON-RIGID IMAGE RECOGNITION ALGORITHMS IN APPLIED ROBOTICS
free download

ABSTRACT. In this paper depicted that a simplified robotic system almost every time are faced with the problem of chaotic scattering pixels through image s recognition operation. It also revealed some of the causes of instability in the calculation algorithms (non-rigid) and

THE ROLE OF EMOTIONS IN HUMAN COGNITION AND ROBOTICS
free download

Emotions have puzzled and fascinated thinkers throughout history, from Plato and Aristotle to modern cognitive psychologists. Until relatively recently, the widely accepted view on emotions has been that they are only an interference on the neutral behaviour of a person.

Surgical robotics and instrumentation
free download

Purpose Magnetic coupling is one of the few strategies to transmit motion through physical obstacles. This approach can be applied to remotely control and manipulate medical devices/robots inside the human body preventing the need for dedicated incisions [1, 2].

Selforganized task allocation to sequentially interdependent tasks in swarm robotics
free download

Abstract In this work we present a self-organized method for allocating the individuals of a robot swarm to tasks that are sequentially interdependent. Tasks that are sequentially interdependent are common-for example they are created by subdividing a more

Function Electrical Stimulation mediated by Iterative Learning Control and 3D roboticsreduces motor impairment in chronic stroke
free download

Background Novel stroke rehabilitation techniques that employ electrical stimulation (ES) and robotic technologies are effective in reducing upper limb impairments. ES is most effective when it is applied to support the patients voluntary effort; however, current

Mode Control Methods Using MATLAB/SIMULINK and Their Integration into Graduate/Undergraduate Nonlinear Control, Robotics and MATLAB Courses
free download

ABSTRACT This paper describes the MATLAB/SIMULINK realization of the PUMA 560 robot manipulator position control methodology. This paper focuses on two main areas, namely robot manipulator analysis and implementation, and design, analyzed and implement

Human Behavior Understanding for Robotics
free download

Human behavior is complex, but structured along individual and social lines. Robotic systems interacting with people in uncontrolled environments need capabilities to correctly interpret, predict and respond to human behaviors. This paper discusses the scientific,

Integrating vision and robotics into the computer science curriculum
free download

Abstract. This paper describes our efforts in integrating Robotics education into the undergraduate Computer Science curriculum. Our approach delivers Mobile Robotics together with the closely related field of Computer Vision and is directly linked to the

Towards more Natural Human-Robot Interaction: From Cognitive Sciences and Neurobiology to Socially Aware/Assistive Robotics
free download

A major challenge in the field of human-robot interaction (HRI) is the design of autonomous robots that are able to assist people in a human-like way. This requires endowing the robots with some high-level cognitive capacities like decision making, memory, goal inference,

Semantic perception for ground robotics
free download

Abstract Semantic perception involves naming objects and features in the scene, understanding the relations between them, and understanding the behaviors of agents, eg, people, and their intent from sensor data. Semantic perception is a central component of

An interval approach for stability analysis; Application to sailboat robotics
free download

ABSTRACT This paper proposes an interval based method for the validation of reliable and robust navigation rules for mobile robots. The main idea is to show that for all feasible perturbations, there exists a safe subset of the state space such that the system cannot

Feature Extraction from Dense 2D Range Images for Service Robotics
free download

ABSTRACT. In this paper we present a fast approach to extracting features from range images. These features are intended to serve as input to the perception system of a domestic service robot. In the first step, after initial noise filtering, a range image pyramid is computed and

Gender differences in kindergarteners  robotics and programming achievement
free download

ABSTRACT Early childhood is a critical period for introducing girls to traditionally masculine fields of science and technology before more extreme gender stereotypes surface in later years. This study looks at the TangibleK Robotics Program in order to determine whether
