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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Incremental Sparse GP Regression for Continuous-time Trajectory Estimation & Mapping
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-07)
Recent work on simultaneous trajectory estimation
and mapping (STEAM) for mobile robots has found success
by representing the trajectory as a Gaussian process. Gaussian
processes can represent a ...
Incremental Sparse GP Regression for Continuous-time Trajectory Estimation & Mapping
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-12)
Recent work has investigated the problem of continuous-time trajectory estimation
and mapping for mobile robots by formulating the problem as sparse Gaussian
process regression. Gaussian processes provide a continuous-time ...
Optical flow templates for mobile robot environment understanding
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-10-01)
In this work we develop optical flow templates. In doing so, we introduce a practical tool for inferring robot egomotion and semantic superpixel labeling using optical flow in imaging systems with arbitrary optics. In order ...
A Discriminative Approach to Robust Visual Place Recognition
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006-10)
An important competence for a mobile robot system
is the ability to localize and perform context interpretation.
This is required to perform basic navigation and to facilitate
local specific services. Usually localization ...
