This paper describes a scheme for providing low-level control of a multi-link serial manipulator. The goal was to achieve adaptive behavior without making assumptions about the environment.

An essential step in understanding connected discourse is the ability to link the meanings of successive sentences together. Given a growing database to which new sentence meanings must be linked, which out of many possible ...

This paper briefly discusses the following questions: What are the benefits of special-purpose languages? When is a field ready for such a language? Are any parts of our current vision research ready?

In order to be able to design a control system for high-speed control of mechanical manipulators, it is necessary to understand properly their dynamics. Here we present an analysis of a detailed model of a three-link device ...

We describe a simple geometric modelling system called Eight which supports interactive creation, editing, and display of three-dimensional polyhedral solids. Perspective views of a polyhedral environment may be generated, ...

We re-examine the evolutionary stability of the tit-for-tat (tft) strategy in the context of the iterated prisoner's dilemma, as introduced by Axelrod and Hamilton. This environment involves a mixture of populations of ...

The problem of producing a colored image from a colored original is analyzed. Conditions are determined for the production of an image, in which the colors cannot be distinguished from those in the original by a human ...

The Requirements Apprentice (RA) is a demonstration system that assists a human analyst in the requirements-acquisition phase of the software-development process. By applying the RA to another example it has been possible ...

This paper describes a method for finding such topographical features as ridges and valleys in a given terrain. Contour lines are used to obtain the desired result.
