Real roots counting for some robotics problems
FREE DOWNLOAD
ABSTRACT. We propose two algorithms to compute the number of real roots of zero- dimensional systems, using effective algebraic methods. To compare their behaviour on practical examples, we apply these methods to systems that describe some robotics
Towards humanlike social touch for sociable robotics and prosthetics: Comparisons on the compliance, conformance and hysteresis of synthetic and human fingertip
FREE DOWNLOAD
ABSTRACT The artificial hands for sociable robotics and prosthetics are expected to be touched by other people. Because the skin is the main interface during the contact, a need arises to duplicate humanlike characteristics for artificial skins for safety and social acceptance.
APPLICATION OF MACHINE LEARNING TO ROBOTICS {AN ANALYSIS
FREE DOWNLOAD
ABSTRACT Robotics is one of the most challenging applications of Machine Learning (ML) techniques. It is characterized by direct interaction with a real world, sensory feedback and an enormous complexity of the control system. In recent years several approaches to
Screw and cable actuators (scs) and their applications to force feedback teleoperation, exoskeleton and anthropomorphic robotics
FREE DOWNLOAD
Some years ago, the CEA developed a new actuator ² the Screw and Cable System to motorize a teleoperation force feedback master arm that would be more economical than previous machines such as the MA23 master arm, a pioneering machine originally
Using prior knowledge to improve reinforcement learning in mobile robotics
FREE DOWNLOAD
ABSTRACT Reinforcement learning (RL) is thought to be an appropriate paradigm for acquiring control policies in mobile robotics. However, in its standard formulation (tabula rasa) RL must explore and learn everything from scratch, which is neither realistic nor effective in
VirtualRobot: An open general-purpose simulation tool for robotics
FREE DOWNLOAD
ABSTRACT This paper introduces the basis of a graphical software application, designed for low cost hardware, as a general, flexible and open platform to work on robotics. VirtualRobot has proven to be a useful tool in many fields of robotics, such as manipulator
Brain theory: connecting neurobiology to robotics. Tensor analysis: utilizing intrinsic coordinates to describe, understand and engineer functional geometries of
FREE DOWNLOAD
To facilitate a knowledge-understanding-utilization transition from neurobiology to socioeconomically gainful applications, a conceptually and formally unified brain theory is required. A perspective is given on the variety of concepts and formalisms available to
Dynamic approach to behavior-based robotics

I am indebted to many people for their contribution to my knowledge and for their help in many ways during these past years. I wish to express my sincere gratitude to my scientific adviser Dr. Gregor Schner, from the CRNC-CNRS in Marseille, who initiated me into
FC Portugal-high-level coordination methodologies in soccer robotics
FREE DOWNLOAD
ABSTRACT This chapter presents the research performed in the context of FC Portugal project in the areas of agent architectures, coordination methodologies, coaching and agent development tools. FC Portugal s research has been integrated in several teams that have
Evolutionary robotics at Sussex
FREE DOWNLOAD
ABSTRACT We give an overview of evolutionary robotics research at Sussex. We explain and justify our distinctive approaches to (artificial) evolution, and to the nature of robot control systems that are evolved. We illustrate by presenting results from research with
SOCIAL ROBOTICS: Reality and Virtuality in Agent-Based Robotics
FREE DOWNLOAD
ABSTRACTAbstract. This paper advocates the application of multi-agent techniques in the realisation of social robotic behaviour. We present the Social Robot Architecture, which integrates the key elements of agenthood and robotics in a coherent and systematic
Toward socially assistive robotics for augmenting interventions for children with autism spectrum disorders
FREE DOWNLOAD
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) have communication deficits and difficulties with social interaction. A lack of social behavior can hamper therapeutic interventions and can diminish the ability to learn social skills. Robots have been shown to provoke

Multiagent systems: Lessons from social insects and collective robotics
FREE DOWNLOAD
ABSTRACT Multiagent systems used in the AI community are typically knowledge based, consisting of heterogeneous unembodied agents carrying out explicitly assigned tasks, and communicating via symbols. In contrast, many extremely competent natural collective
Distributed computing on the move: From mobile computing to cooperative robotics and nanorobotics
FREE DOWNLOAD
ABSTRACT Distributed computing is beginning to extend its scope to address problems relevant to a mobile environment (mobile computing). For the most part, current research efforts in mobile computing and ad hoc networking are implicitly aimed at mobile
Virtual reality, augmented reality and robotics in surgical procedures of the liver
FREE DOWNLOAD
Medical image processing led to a major improvement of patient care. The 3D modeling of patients from their CT-scan or MRI thus allows a better surgical planning. Simulation offers the opportunity to train the surgical gesture before carrying it out. And finally, augmented
Reducing human design and increasing adaptability in Evolutionary Robotics
FREE DOWNLOAD
Evolutionary Robotics is a technique for automatic creation of autonomous robots that is inspired upon the Darwinian principle of selective reproduction of the fittest. It is a new approach on its own which looks at robots as autonomous artificial organisms that
Adventure games: A challenge for cognitive robotics
FREE DOWNLOAD
ABSTRACT This paper presents a set of challenges for cognitive robotics in the context of a text- based adventure game. Games in this class have many challenging properties for cognitive robotics, including incompletely specified goals, an environment revealed only through
Innately adaptive robotics through embodied evolution
FREE DOWNLOAD
ABSTRACT Autonomous adaptation in robots has become recognised as crucial for devices deployed in remote or inhospitable environments. The aim of this work is to investigate autonomous robot adaptation, focussing on damage recovery and adaptation to unknown
An insightful comparison between experiments in mobile robotics and in science
FREE DOWNLOADk ABSTRACT Experiments are essential ingredients of science, both to confirm/refute a theory and to discover new theories. It is a common belief that experimentation in mobile robotics has not yet reached a level of maturity comparable with that reached in science, for
