In this paper, we first review our work in the domain of dextrous manipulation, where we introduced Manipulation Manifolds – a highly structured manifold representation of hand ...
Abstract. Our proposed software system, SceneMaker, aims to facilitate the production of plays, films or animations by automatically interpreting natural language film scripts an...

Abstract. SEASALT (Sharing Experience using an Agent-based System Architecture LayouT) presents an instantiation of the Collaborating Multi-Expert Systems (CoMES) approach [1]. It ...
Spoken dialogue is notoriously hard to process with standard language processing technologies. Dialogue systems must indeed meet two major challenges. First, natural spoken dialogu...
This paper presents a sequential state estimation method with arbitrary probabilistic models expressing the system’s belief. Probabilistic models can be estimated by Maximum a po...
Cardinal direction relations are binary spatial relations determined under an extrinsically-defined direction system (e.g., north of). We already have point-based and region-based ...
This paper investigates potential effects of a motivational module on a robotic arm, which is controlled based on the biologicalinspired SURE REACH system. The motivational module...
Embodied agents can be a powerful interface for natural human-computer interaction. While graphical realism is steadily increasing, the complexity of believable behavior is still h...
In this paper, we propose a probabilistic model to study the interaction of bidder and seller agents in sequential automated auctions. We consider a designated “special bidder”...
