Goal Reasoning: Papers from the ACS Workshop
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-05-28)
This technical report contains the 14 accepted papers presented at the Workshop on Goal Reasoning,
which was held as part of the 2015 Conference on Advances in Cognitive Systems (ACS-15) in Atlanta,
Georgia on 28 May ...
Autonomous, Agile, Vision‐Controlled Drones: From Frame to Event Vision
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2017-09-22)
Autonomous quadrotors will soon play a major role in search‐and‐rescue and
remote‐inspection missions, where a fast response is crucial. Quadrotors have the potential to navigate quickly through unstructured
environments, ...
From Deliberative to Routine Behaviors: a Cognitively-Inspired Action Selection Mechanism for Routine Behavior Capture
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006-11-06)
Long-term human-robot interaction, especially in the case of humanoid robots, requires an
adaptable and varied behavior base. In this work we present a method for capturing, or learning,
sequential tasks by transferring ...
A Methodology to Determine Impact of Robotic Technologies on Space Science Mission
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2004-06)
This paper presents a new method for evaluating relative strengths and impact of robotic technologies utilized for space exploration missions. The method uses a three tiered process involving mission analysis, technology ...
Modeling and Optimal Control of a Lightweight Bracing Manipulator
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1987)
Bracing strategy can improve the stiffness of a lightweight
manipulator. A lightweight bracing manipulator provides better
maneuverability in gross motions and higher precision in small
motions. In order to maintain ...
A Point-and-Click Interface for the Real World: Laser Designation of Objects for Mobile Manipulation
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008-03)
We present a novel interface for human-robot interaction that enables a human to intuitively and unambiguously se- lect a 3D location in the world and communicate it to a mo- bile robot. The human points at a location of ...
Using Floating-Gate Based Programmable Analog Arrays for Real-Time Control of a Game-Playing Robot
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-10)
This paper presents preliminary results of a mobile manipulator robot tasked to play the classic Towers of Hanoi game. We first discuss the control algorithms necessary to enable necessary game-playing behavior and provide ...
Robots learning actions and goals from everyday people
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-11-16)
Robots are destined to move beyond the caged factory floors towards domains where they will be interacting closely with humans. They will encounter highly varied environments, scenarios and user demands. As a result, ...
Multirobot Coordination: From High-level Specification to Correct Execution
(2015-12-02)
Using a group of robots in place of a single complex robot to accomplish a task has many benefits, including simplified system repair, less down time, and lower cost. Combining heterogeneous groups of these multi-robot ...
Dissipativity-Based Teleoperation with Time-Varying Communication Delays
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-09)
We analyze the effects of communication delays in teleoperation systems using dissipativity
theory along with explicit models of the operator and robot. We utilize a simple model of the
operator's behavior that describes ...
