Preparing for the Coming Machine Revolution
(2017-11-08)
Spanning academics, business, and the arts, Raffaello D’Andrea’s career is built on his ability to bridge theory and practice. At the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich, his research redefines the ...
Robot vibrations
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2001)
The nature of robotic arms invites vibratory behavior while the function of robotic arms is heavily penalized by that vibration. Consequently, understanding and compensating for the tendencies of a robot to vibrate are of ...
Agent Negotiation of Target Distribution Enhancing System Survivability
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-12)
This article proposes an agent negotiation model for target distribution across a set of geographically dispersed sensors. The key idea is to consider sensors as autonomous agents that negotiate over the division of tasks ...
Global and Regional Path Planners for Integrated Planning and Navigation
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2005-12)
This paper presents a hierarchical strategy for field mobile robots that incorporates path planning at different ranges. At the top layer is a global path planner that utilizes gross terrain characteristics, such as hills ...
Domestic robot ecology - an initial framework to unpack long-term acceptance of robots at home
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010)
It has been recognized that long-term effects exist in the interaction with robotic technologies. Despite this recognition, we still know little about how the temporal effects are associated with domestic robots. To bridge ...
Integrating Virtual and Human Instructors in Robotic Learning Environments
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008)
This paper presents two different approaches for utilizing virtual environments to enable learning for both human and robotic students. In the first approach, we showcase a 3D interactive environment that allows a human ...
Optimal Trajectory Planning and Smoothing Splines
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2001-07)
In this paper, some of the relationships between optimal control and trajectory planning are examined. When planning trajectories
for linear control systems, a demand that arises naturally in air traffic control or noise ...
Components, Curriculum, and Community: Robots and Robotics in Undergraduate AI Education
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006)
This editorial introduction presents an overview of the robotic resources available to AI educators and provides context for the articles in this special issue. We set the stage by addressing the trade-offs among a number ...
Multi-Robot Deployment and Coordination with Embedded Graph Grammars
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-01)
This paper presents a framework for going from
specifications to implementations of decentralized control
strategies for multi-robot systems. In particular, we show
how the use of Embedded Graph Grammars (EGGs) provides
a ...
Clarification dialogues in human-augmented mapping
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006-03)
An approach to dialogue based interaction for resolution of ambiguities encountered as part of Human-Augmented Mapping (HAM) is presented. The paper focuses on issues related to spatial organisation and localisation. The ...
