— The Intelligent Robotics Group at NASA Ames Research Center has developed a new mobile robot hardware architecture designed for extensibility and reconfigurability. Currently ...
- We previously proposed a new 3D form display actuated by shape memory alloy (SMA), which is capable of displaying large scale objects sequentially. Based on our devised method, o...

— This paper addresses the modeling of the static and dynamic parts of the scenario and how to use this information within a real sensor-based navigation system. The contribution...
— This paper presents a new reinforcement learning algorithm for accelerating acquisition of new skills by real mobile robots, without requiring simulation. It speeds up Q-learni...
— This paper presents a visual attention mechanism for the acquisition of landmarks in an arbitrary scene. The proposed mechanism consists of two consecutive selection stages. Th...
– Future space missions are expected to use robotic systems to assemble, inspect, and maintain large space structures in orbit. To carry out these tasks, robots need to know the ...
– We describe in detail the behavior of an inhibitory Central Pattern Generator (CPG) network for robot control. A four-neuron, mutual inhibitory network forms the basic coordina...
