  • Robot Motion Vision by Fixation 
    Taalebinezhaad, M. Ali (1992-09-01)
    In many motion-vision scenarios, a camera (mounted on a moving vehicle) takes images of an environment to find the "motion'' and shape. We introduce a direct-method called fixation for solving this motion-vision problem ...
  • Robot Programming 
    Lozano-Perez, Tomas (1982-12-01)
    The industrial robot's principal advantage over traditional automation is programmability. Robots can perform arbitrary sequences of pre-stored motions or of motions computed as functions of sensory input. This paper ...
  • Robot Programming 
    Lozano-Perez, Tomas (1982-12-01)
    The industrial robot's principal advantage over traditional automation is programmability. Robots can perform arbitrary sequences of pre-stored motions or of motions computed as functions of sensory input. This paper ...
  • A Robot that Walks: Emergent Behaviors from a Carefully Evolved Network 
    Brooks, Rodney A. (1989-02-01)
    Most animals have significant behavioral expertise built in without having to explicitly learn it all from scratch. This expertise is a product of evolution of the organism; it can be viewed as a very long term form ...
  • Robot Utility Functions 
    Nelson, Stewart; Levitt, Michael (1969-02-01)
    This document describes a set of routines which have been provided at both the monitor and user level to facilitate the following operations: 1) Vidissector input; 2) Pot Box input; 3) Arm motion; and 4) Display list ...
  • Robust 2-D Model-Based Object Recognition 
    Cass, Todd A. (1988-05-01)
    Techniques, suitable for parallel implementation, for robust 2D model-based object recognition in the presence of sensor error are studied. Models and scene data are represented as local geometric features and robust ...
  • Robust Agent Control of an Autonomous Robot with Many Sensors and Actuators 
    Ferrell, Cynthia (1993-05-01)
    This thesis presents methods for implementing robust hexpod locomotion on an autonomous robot with many sensors and actuators. The controller is based on the Subsumption Architecture and is fully distributed over ...
  • A Robust Amorphous Hierarchy from Persistent Nodes 
    Beal, Jacob (2003-05-01)
    For a very large network deployed in space with only nearby nodes able to talk to each other, we want to do tasks like robust routing and data storage. One way to organize the network is via a hierarchy, but hierarchies ...
  • Robust and Efficient 3D Recognition by Alignment 
    Alter, Tao Daniel (1992-09-01)
    Alignment is a prevalent approach for recognizing 3D objects in 2D images. A major problem with current implementations is how to robustly handle errors that propagate from uncertainties in the locations of image ...
  • Robust Execution of Bipedal Walking Tasks From Biomechanical Principles 
    Hofmann, Andreas (2006-04-28)
    Effective use of robots in unstructured environments requires that they have sufficient autonomy and agility to execute task-level commands successfully. A challenging example of such a robot is a bipedal walking machine. ...
  • Robust, High-Speed Network Design for Large-Scale Multiprocessing 
    DeHon, Andre (1993-09-01)
    As multiprocessor system size scales upward, two important aspects of multiprocessor systems will generally get worse rather than better: (1) interprocessor communication latency will increase and (2) the probability ...
  • A Robust Layered Control System for a Mobile Robot 
    Brooks, Rodney A. (1985-09-01)
    We describe a new architecture for controlling mobile robots. Layers of control system are built to let the robot operate at increasing levels of competence. Layers are made up of asynchronous modules which communicate ...
  • Robust Photo-topography by Fusing Shape-from-Shading and Stereo 
    Thompson, Clay Matthew (1993-02-01)
    Methods for fusing two computer vision methods are discussed and several example algorithms are presented to illustrate the variational method of fusing algorithms. The example algorithms seek to determine planet ...
  • Robust Tracking for Real-Time Dense RGB-D Mapping with Kintinuous 
    Whelan, Thomas; Johannsson, Hordur; Kaess, Michael; Leonard, John J.; McDonald, John (2012-09-17)
    This paper describes extensions to the Kintinuous algorithm for spatially extended KinectFusion, incorporating the following additions: (i) the integration of multiple 6DOF camera odometry estimation methods for robust ...
  • The Role of Attention in Binocular Rivalry as Revealed Through Optokinetic Nystagmus 
    Leopold, D.A.; Fitzgibbons, J.C.; Logothetis, N.K. (1995-11-01)
    When stimuli presented to the two eyes differ considerably, stable binocular fusion fails, and the subjective percept alternates between the two monocular images, a phenomenon known as binocular rivalry. The influence of ...
  • The Role of Chemical Mechanisms in Neural Computation and Learning 
    Hiller, Martha J. (1995-05-23)
    Most computational models of neurons assume that their electrical characteristics are of paramount importance. However, all long-term changes in synaptic efficacy, as well as many short-term effects, are mediated by ...
  • Role of color in face recognition 
    Yip, Andrew; Sinha, Pawan (2001-12-13)
    One of the key challenges in face perception lies in determining the contribution of different cues to face identification. In this study, we focus on the role of color cues. Although color appears to be a salient attribute ...
  • The Role of Fixation and Visual Attention in Object Recognition 
    Ratan, Aparna Lakshmi (1995-07-21)
    This research project is a study of the role of fixation and visual attention in object recognition. In this project, we build an active vision system which can recognize a target object in a cluttered scene efficiently ...
  • The Role of Intensional and Extensional Representations in Simulation 
    Brotsky, Daniel (MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1984-12)
    I review three systems which do simulation in different domains. I observe the following commonality in the representations underlying the simulations: • The representations used for individuals tend to be domain-dependent. ...
  • The Role of Knowledge in Visual Shape Representation 
    Saund, Eric (1988-10-01)
    This report shows how knowledge about the visual world can be built into a shape representation in the form of a descriptive vocabulary making explicit the important geometrical relationships comprising objects' shapes. ...
