To save energy, many power management policies rely on issuing mode-change commands to the components of the system. Efforts to date have focused on how these policies interact wi...
This paper presents ways of approaching the design of successful character-based interactive installations. We rationalize our arguments within the context of both Disney's &...
Developing real robots that can exploit dynamic interactions with the environment requires the use of actuators whose behaviour can vary from high stiffness to complete complianc...
: A precise model of the behavioral dynamics is a necessary precondition for the development of collaborative environments. In this paper we present a specification framework for c...
