Many tasks are di cult or impossible for onearmed" robots, for example, assembly with long parts. Multi-armed robots can do such tasks well, but only if both robot and contro...
When controlling dynamic systems, such as mobile robots in uncertain environments, there is a trade off between risk and reward. For example, a race car can turn a corner faster b...
Embodying robot morphologies evolved in simulation can present serious problems for an engineer when translating simplified simulated mechanisms into working devices, often drawing...
The semi-automatic or automatic synthesis of robot controller software is both desirable and challenging. Synthesis of rather simple behaviors such as collision avoidance by apply...
Autonomous synthetic actors performing in live stage performances must be capable of generating speech that is not only lexically correct, but emotionally correct; affect can be co...
