In this paper we propose to apply hierarchical graphs to indoor navigation. The intended purpose is to guide humans in large public buildings and assist them in wayfinding. We sta...
Abstract. A novel interactive virtual needle insertion simulation is presented. The insertion model simulates three-degree-of-freedom needle motion, physically-based needle forces,...
This paper introduces the RL-TOPs architecture for robot learning, a hybrid system combining teleo-reactive planning and reinforcement learning techniques. The aim of this system ...
Abstract— Autonomous mobile robots are deployed in a variety of application domains, resulting in scenario specific implementations. However these systems share common component...
Abstract. This paper describes research in understanding the requirements for complex information systems that are constructed from one or more generic COTS systems. We argue that,...
