Abstract. We present a purely vision-based scheme for learning a topological representation of an open environment. The system represents selected places by local views of the surr...
Gabor filters have been applied sucessfully to a broad range of multidimensional signal processing and image processing tasks. The present paper considers the design of a single f...

Design of gracefully degrading systems, where functionality is gradually reduced in the face of faults, has traditionally been a very difficult and error-prone task. General appro...
State-of-the-art computer graphics can give autonomous agents a compelling appearance as animated virtual characters. Typically the agents are directly responsible for controlling ...
Deciding what to sense is a crucial task, made harder by dependencies and by a nonadditive utility function. We develop approximation algorithms for selecting an optimal set of me...
