The RoboCup Small Size Robotic Soccer League exists to drive research in robotics and artificial intelligence and the systems which compose those fields. In the Small Size League, teams of five fully autonomous robots play ...

Keyframe-based Learning from Demonstration has been shown to be an effective method for allowing end-users to teach robots skills. I propose a method for using multiple keyframe demonstrations to learn skills as sequences ...

We propose an incremental approach for learning a hierarchical task model from a series of demonstrations, where each demonstration is a permutation of a fixed number of different actions. Our hierarchical Task Execution ...

Applications of a small piezoelectric actuator developed by Dr. Jun Ueda will be explored. This will involve the development of a demo robot that incorporates the piezoelectric cellular actuator technology to actuate a ...
