This paper describes the innovative use of genetic programming (GP) to solve the grasp synthesis problem for multifingered robot hands. The goal of our algorithm is to select a Ò...
The hybrid redundancy structure found at the cellular level of higher animals provides complex organism with the three key features of a reliability-engineered system: fault toler...
Canny edge detector is based both on local and global image analysis, present in the gradient computation and connectivity-related hysteresis thresholding, respectively. This cont...
In this paper we describe a method to enable a robot to learn how a user gives commands and feedback to it by speech, prosody and touch. We propose a biologically inspired approac...
A number of techniques for generating geometric models of human head and body are in use nowadays. Models of human characters are useful in computer games, virtual reality, and ma...
