This paper presents a method to associate meanings to words in manipulation tasks. We base our model on an affordance network, i.e., a mapping between robot actions, robot perceptions and the perceived effects of these actions upon objects. We extend the affordance model to incorporate words. Using verbal descriptions of a task, the model uses temporal co-occurrence to create links between speech...
We present an early vision of a cyber-physical environment in which computer controlled rendering of physical surfaces, terrains, and environments is achieved by manipulating grids of "moving physical pixels'' or "moxels", whose heights can be raised and lowered on command. A user would be free to walk within such a dynamically deformable physically rendered environment (PRE). The system...
Some projects are simply too big to finish on the release schedule that you want to maintain. Rally's agile engineering team delivered a very disruptive architectural change lasting nine months in parallel with three releases. This paper will show how this was done without prolonging the usual release cycles and without technically crippling our product or doing a lot of throwaway work. The main elements...
