The paper introduces and formalizes a distributed approach for the model-based monitoring of the execution of a plan, where concurrent actions are carried on by a team of mobile r...
Coordinated behavior of mobile robots is an important emerging application area. Different coordinated behaviors can be achieved by assigning sets of control tasks, or strategies...

We propose a technique to speedup the learning of the inverse kinematics of a robot manipulator by decomposing it into two or more virtual robot arms. Unlike previous decomposition...
The paper examines characteristics of interactive learning between human tutors and a robot having a dynamic neural network model which is inspired by human parietal cortex functio...

We present a system for robust robot skill acquisition from kinesthetic demonstrations. This system allows a robot to learn a simple goal-directed gesture, and correctly reproduce...
An important problem in the control of locomotion of robots with multiple degrees of freedom (e.g., biomimetic robots) is to adapt the locomotor patterns to the properties of the e...
Affordances encode relationships between actions, objects and effects. They play an important role on basic cognitive capabilities such as prediction and planning. We address the p...

In multi-robot system, cooperation is needed to execute tasks efficiently. The purpose of this study is to realize cooperation among multiple robots using interactive communicatio...
Abstract-- This paper proposes a novel framework for describing articulated robot kinematics motion with the goal of providing a unified representation by combining symbolic or qua...
