Distributed Area Search with a Team of Robots
(2006-12-05)
The main goal of this thesis is to demonstrate the applicability of the distributed systems paradigm to robotic systems. This goal is accomplished by presenting two solutions to the Distributed Area Search problem: organizing ...
Dynamically Stable Legged Locomotion (September 1985-Septembers1989)
(1989-09-01)
This report documents our work in exploring active balance for dynamic legged systems for the period from September 1985 through September 1989. The purpose of this research is to build a foundation of knowledge that ...
Roles of Knowledge in Motor Learning
(1987-02-01)
The goal of this thesis is to apply the computational approach to motor learning, i.e., describe the constraints that enable performance improvement with experience and also the constraints that must be satisfied by ...
The Computational Approach to Vision and Motor Control
(1985-08-01)
Over the past decade it has become increasingly clear that to understand the brain, we must study not only its biochemical and biophysical mechanisms and its outward perceptual and physical behavior. We also must study ...
Describing Surfaces
(1985-01-01)
This paper continues our work on visual representation s of three-dimensional surfaces [Brady and Yuille 1984b]. The theoretical component of our work is a study of classes of surface curves as a source of constraint ...
Computers, Brains, and the Control of Movement
(1982-06-01)
Many of the problems associated with the planning and execution of human arm trajectories are illuminated by planning and control strategies which have been developed for robotic manipulators. This comparison may ...
Evolving Robocode Tank Fighters
(2003-10-28)
In this paper, I describe the application of genetic programming to evolve a controller for a robotic tank in a simulated environment.The purpose is to explore how genetic techniques can best be applied to produce controllers ...
Workshop on the Design and Control of Dextrous Hands
(1982-04-01)
The Workshop for the Design and Control of Dexterous Hands was held at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory on November 5-6, 1981. Outside experts were brought together to discuss four topics: kinematics of hands, ...
Team MIT Urban Challenge Technical Report
(2007-12-14)
This technical report describes Team MITs approach to theDARPA Urban Challenge. We have developed a novel strategy forusing many inexpensive sensors, mounted on the vehicle periphery,and calibrated with a new cross-modal ...
On Multiple Moving Objects
(1986-05-01)
This paper explores the motion planning problem for multiple moving objects. The approach taken consists of assigning priorities to the objects, then planning motions one object at a time. For each moving object, the ...
