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...
This paper deals with a method of distributed behavior learning of multiple mobile robots. Various types of artificial neural networks are applied for behavior learning of mobile robots in unknown and dynamic environments. In the paper, we propose a method of distributed behavioral learning based on a spiking neural network. The robot learns the forward relationship from sensory inputs to motor outputs...
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...
Recently, the social role of the nursing health facilities increases more and more as Japan becomes an aged society. There has been a problem on accidents such as ldquofallingrdquo and ldquomoving away from facilitiesrdquo in such facilities owing to the overload to the human monitoring and the privacy protection. This sensor can detect the state such as turning over in bed and getting up on the bed...
This paper proposes a human hand detection method for gesture recognition used for communication of a robot with a human. A human hand motion can be recognized as a different meaning according to a situation in the communication between the human and robot. First, we propose a steady-state genetic algorithm for extracting a time series of human hand position, and next, a gestures recognition method...
