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 ...
The role of trust and relationships in human-robot social interaction
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-11-10)
Can a robot understand a human's social behavior? Moreover, how should a robot act in response to a human's behavior? If the goals of artificial intelligence are to understand, imitate, and interact with human level ...
Realization of the Sensor Web Concept for Earth Science Using Mobile Robotic Platforms
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-03)
In this paper, we discuss the realization of a
robotic mobile sensor network that allows for controlled
reconfiguration of sensor assets in a decentralized manner.
The motivation is to allow the construction of a new ...
Bringing Together Human and Robotic Environment Representations – A Pilot Study
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006-10)
Human interaction with a service robot requires a
shared representation of the environment for spoken dialogue
and task specification where names used for particular locations
are depending on personal preferences. A ...
Symbolic Planning and Control of Robot Motion: State of the Art and Grand Challenges
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-03)
In this paper, different research trends that use symbolic techniques for robot motion planning and control are illustrated. As it often happens in new research areas, contributions to this topic started at about the same ...
Optimized Control Strategies for Wheeled Humanoids and Mobile Manipulators
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-12)
Optimizing the control of articulated mobile
robots leads to emergent behaviors that improve the effectiveness,
efficiency and stability of wheeled humanoids and
dynamically stable mobile manipulators. Our simulated ...
Hand It Over or Set It Down: A User Study of Object Delivery with an Assistive Mobile Manipulator
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009)
Delivering an object to a user would be a generally useful capability for service robots. Within this paper, we look at this capability in the context of assistive object retrieval for motor-impaired users. We first describe ...
RFID-Guided Robots for Pervasive Automation
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-01-15)
Passive UHF RFID tags are well matched to robots' needs. Unlike lowfrequency (LF) and high-frequency (HF) RFID tags, passive UHF RFID tags are readable from across a room, enabling a mobile robot to efficiently discover ...
What Are the Ants Doing? Vision-Based Tracking and Reconstruction of Control Programs
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2005-04)
In this paper, we study the problem of going
from a real-world, multi-agent system to the generation of
control programs in an automatic fashion. In particular,
a computer vision system is presented, capable of ...
Atlanta World: An Expectation Maximization Framework for Simultaneous Low-level Edge Grouping and Camera Calibration in Complex Man-made Environments
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2004-06)
Edges in man-made environments, grouped according to
vanishing point directions, provide single-view constraints
that have been exploited before as a precursor to both scene
understanding and camera calibration. A ...
