Value-Based Communication Preservation for Mobile Robots
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2003)
Value-Based Communication Preservation (VBCP) is a behavior-based,
computationally efficient approach to maintaining line-of-sight RF communication
between members of robot teams in the context of other tasks. The goal ...
A Framework for Situation-Based Social Interaction
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006)
This paper presents a theoretical framework for
computationally representing social situations in a robot. This
work is based on interdependence theory, a social psychological
theory of interaction and social situation ...
Noise Maps for Acoustically Sensitive Navigation
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2004)
More and more robotic applications are equipping robots with microphones to improve the sensory information
available to them. However, in most applications the auditory task is very low-level, only processing data and ...
Efficient Particle Filter-Based Tracking of Multiple Interacting Targets Using an MRF-based Motion Model
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2003)
We describe a multiple hypothesis particle filter
for tracking targets that will be influenced by the proximity
and/or behavior of other targets. Our contribution is to show
how a Markov random field motion prior, built ...
Reactive Speed Control System Based on Terrain Roughness Detection
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2004)
Autonomous outdoor navigation requires the ability to discriminate among different types of terrain. A non-trivial problem is to manage the robot's speed based on terrain roughness. This paper presents a speed control ...
Adaptive Estimation and Control with Application to Vision-based Autonomous Formation Flight
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-05-17)
The role of vision as an additional sensing mechanism has received a lot of attention in recent years in the context of autonomous flight applications. Modern Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are equipped with vision sensors ...
Selection of Behavioral Parameters: Integration of Discontinuous Switching via Case-Based Reasoning with Continuous Adaptation via Learning Momentum
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2001)
This paper studies the effects of the integration of
two learning algorithms, Case-Based Reasoning (CBR)
and Learning Momentum (LM), for the selection of
behavioral parameters in real-time for robotic
navigational ...
An Ethological and Emotional Basis for Human-Robot Interaction
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2002)
This paper presents the role of ethological and
emotional models as the basis for an architecture in
support of entertainment robotic systems. Specific
examples for Sony’s AIBO are presented as well as
extensions related ...
Ethological Modeling and Architecture for an Entertainment Robot
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2001)
This paper presents a novel method for creating high-fidelity
models of animal behavior for use in robotic systems based on
a behavioral systems approach, and describes in particular
how an ethological model of a domestic ...
Exploring Unknown Structured Environments
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2001)
This paper presents perceptual algorithms for corridor navigation,
door detection and entry that can be used for exploration
of an unknown floor of a building. The algorithms are
fairly robust to sensor noise, do not ...
