Towards an Articulation-Based Developmental Robotics Approach for Word Processing in Face-to-Face CommunicationPaladyn - Tập 2 Số 2 - 2011
Bernd J. Kröger, Peter Birkholz, Christiane Neuschaefer‐Rube
AbstractWhile we are capable of modeling the shape, e.g. face, arms, etc. of
humanoid robots in a nearly natural or human-like way, it is much more difficult
to generate human-like facial or body movements and human-like behavior like
e.g. speaking and co-speech gesturing. In this paper it will be argued for a
developmental robotics approach for learning to speak. On the basis of current

Hill-climbing for a noisy potential field using information entropyPaladyn - Tập 2 - Trang 94-99 - 2011
Piljae Kim, Satoru Nakamura, Daisuke Kurabayashi
For a robot navigation system used in an unpredictable environment, it is
generally effective to create a pathway that robots can track for carrying out a
given task, such as reaching a goal. In the biological world, ants construct a
foraging path using a volatile substance called a pheromone, which has been
widely studied and whose characteristics have been used in a transportation
network model.... hiện toàn bộ
A Predictive Network Architecture for a Robust and Smooth Robot Docking BehaviorPaladyn - - 2012
Junpei Zhong, Cornelius Weber, Stefan Wermter
AbstractRobots and living beings exhibit latencies in their sensorimotor
processing due to mechanical and electronic or neural processing delays. A
reaction typically occurs to input stimuli of the past. This is critical not
only when the environment changes (e.g. moving objects) but also when the agent
itself moves. An agent that does not predict while moving may need to remain
static between sen... hiện toàn bộ
Cognitive map plasticity and imitation strategies to improve individual and social behaviors of autonomous agentsPaladyn - Tập 1 - Trang 25-36 - 2010
Philippe Laroque, Nathalie Gaussier, Nicolas Cuperlier, Mathias Quoy, Philippe Gaussier
Starting from neurobiological hypotheses on the existence of place cells (PC) in
the brain, the aim of this article is to show how little assumptions at both
individual and social levels can lead to the emergence of non-trivial global
behaviors in a multi-agent system (MAS). In particular, we show that adding a
simple, hebbian learning mechanism on a cognitive map allows autonomous,
situated agent... hiện toàn bộ
Theo dõi và phân đoạn sử dụng min-cut với hình dạng tiên quyết liên tiếp Dịch bởi AI Paladyn - Tập 1 - Trang 73-79 - 2010
Junqiu Wang, Yasushi Yagi
Theo dõi và phân đoạn có một loạt ứng dụng rộng rãi như cảm biến thông minh của
robot, tương tác người-máy và giám sát video. Tuy nhiên, theo dõi và phân đoạn
gặp nhiều thách thức vì nhiều lý do, chẳng hạn như hình dạng đối tượng phức tạp
và nền lộn xộn. Chúng tôi đề xuất một thuật toán theo dõi và phân đoạn sử dụng
các hình dạng tiên quyết theo cách liên tiếp. Chúng tôi phát hiện ra rằng thông

A robotic framework for controlling human’s attentionPaladyn - Tập 3 - Trang 92-101 - 2012
Mohammed Moshiul Hoque
It is a major challenge in HRI to design a social robot that is able to
selectively direct a target human’s attention towards an intended direction. For
this purpose, the robot may first turn its gaze toward him/her in order to
establish eye contact. However, such a turning action of the robot may not in
itself be sufficient to make eye contact with the target person in all
situations, especially ... hiện toàn bộ
An anthropomimetic approach to high performance traction controlPaladyn - - 2011
William Kirchner, Steve C. Southward
The ability to learn and adapt to changing environmental conditions, as well as
develop perceptive models based on stimulus-response data, provides expert human
drivers with significant advantages. When it comes to bandwidth, accuracy, and
repeatability, automatic control systems have clear advantages over humans;
however, most high performance control systems lack many of the unique abilities
of ... hiện toàn bộ
Toward autonomous, compliant, omnidirectional humanoid robots for natural interaction in real-life settingsPaladyn - Tập 1 - Trang 57-65 - 2010
François Michaud, François Ferland, Dominic Létourneau, Marc-Antoine Legault, Michel Lauria
The field of robotics has made steady progress in the pursuit of bringing
autonomous machines into real-life settings. Over the last 3 years, we have seen
omnidirectional humanoid platforms that now bring compliance, robustness and
adaptiveness to handle the unconstrained situations of the real world. However,
today’s contributions mostly address only a portion of the physical, cognitive

Motion planning of a snake-like robot using an optimized harmonic potential fieldPaladyn - Tập 1 - Trang 187-197 - 2011
Samer Charifa, Marwan Bikdash
Snake-like robots have gained popularity in the last three decades for their
ability to utilize several gaits in order to navigate through different
terrains. They are analogous in morphology to snakes, tentacles, and elephant
trunks. We propose a novel method of navigating a snake-like robot based on the
Harmonic Field with Optimized Boundary Conditions (HFOBC) and a boundary
following algorithm.... hiện toàn bộ
Voice-awareness control for a humanoid robot consistent with its body posture and movementsPaladyn - Tập 1 - Trang 80-88 - 2010
Takuma Otsuka, Kazuhiro Nakadai, Toru Takahashi, Kazunori Komatani, Tetsuya Ogata, Hiroshi G. Okuno
This paper presents voice-awareness control consistent with robot’s head
movements. For a natural spoken communication between robots and humans, robots
must behave and speak the way humans expect them to. The consistency between the
robot’s voice quality and its body motion is one of the most especially striking
factors in naturalness of robot speech. Our control is based on a new model of
