This paper discusses a perceptual system for intelligent robots. Robots should be able to perceive environments flexibly enough to realize intelligent behavior. We focus on a perceptual system based on the perceiving-acting cycle discussed in ecological psychology. The perceptual system we have proposed consists of a retinal model and a spiking-neural network realizing the perceiving-acting cycle...
Recently, the need of service robots is increasing, and the performance of intelligent technology for perceiving objects and people should be improved. We focus on a service robot system for clearing a table as a human-friendly task. The task is composed of (1) target object detection, (2) the estimation of position and posture of the target objects, and (3) the clearing of the target object. Therefore,...
This paper discusses a integrated perceptual system for intelligent control of a service robot. The robot should be able to perceive the environment flexibly to realize intelligent behaviors. We focus on the perceptual system based on the perceiving-acting cycle discussed in ecological psychology. We propose a perceptual system composed of the retinal model and the spiking-neural network to realize...
This paper discusses a perceptual system for an intelligent service robot based on the Perceiving-Acting Cycle. Recently, various intelligent robots work in real environments such as public facilities, commerce facilities and houses. We are developing an intelligent service robot. The task of this robot is to clear the table in a restaurant. In this environment, the robot must perceive the necessary...
This paper discusses a perceptual system for a intelligent service robot from the viewpoint of human visual perception. Recently, various sensors were equipped with an autonomous robot enable to get too much information on the environment. However, the robot must perceive the necessary information from too much information to take a flexible action like a human. In this study, we emphasize the importance...
In this paper, we discuss a robot vision in order to perceive people and the environment around a mobile robot. We developed a tele-operated mobile robot with a pan-tilt mechanism composed of a camera and a laser range finder (LRF). In this paper, we propose a method for sensor fusion to extract a human from the measured data by integrating these outputs based on the concept of synthesis. Next, we...
This paper discusses a perceptual system for a partner robot from the viewpoint of human visual perception. Recently, various types of robots equip various types of sensors for perceiving the environment. However, the robot must perceive the necessary information from too much information to take a flexible action like a human. In this study, we emphasize the importance of human vision for the robot...
This paper discusses a perceptual system using spiking neural network for a partner robot from the viewpoint of human visual perception. Recently, various types of robots equip various types of sensors for perceiving the environment. However, the robot is difficult to perceive the necessary information like a human. In this study, we emphasize the importance of human vision for the robot to realize...
This paper discusses the role of prediction in the structured learning for the prediction-based perceptual system of partner robots. The perceptual system for a partner robot must perform many functions with many parameters for extracting necessary perceptual information from the viewpoint of embodiment. The robot requires the learnability and adaptability to regulate these parameters by itself, because...
This paper discusses how to extract human motion patterns of networked partner robots. Typically, human motions can be classified into body motions and gesture motions, and are extracted by human tracking and gesture recognition, respectively. In order to improve the performance of these motion recogntion methods, we use both of CCD camera image and distance information of a laser range finder. The...
