A vision-based virtual mouse interface is described that utilizes a robotic head, visual tracking of the users head and hand positions and recognition of user hand signs to contro...
Parallel closed-chainmechanical architectures allow for redundant actuation in the force domain. Antagonistic actuation, afforded by this input force redundancy, in conjunction wi...
We present an artificial neural network used to learn online complex temporal sequences of gestures to a robot. The system is based on a simple temporal sequences learning architec...
The idea that internal models of the world might be useful has generally been rejected by embodied AI for the same reasons that led to its rejection by behaviour based robotics. Th...
Abstract. Several challenges remain in the effort to build software capable of conducting realtime dialogue with people. Part of the problem has been a lack of realtime flexibili...
