A novel, low cost display which uses existing 3D printed optics technology and improves upon it by adding isolation and diffusion layers is presented. The display can transmit light source from a planar 2D surface through individual light pipes onto complex surfaces. This is achieved by a combination of total internal reflection of light in the light pipes which are embedded for minimum Fresnel losses,...
Systematically developing high-quality reusable software components is a difficult task and requires careful design to find a proper balance between potential reuse, functionalities and ease of implementation. Extendibility is an important property for software which helps to reduce cost of development and significantly boosts its reusability. This work introduces an approach to enhance components...
This work proposes a plausible approach for a humanoid robot to define its own body based on visuomotor correlation. The high correlation of motion between vision and proprioception informs the robot that a visually moving object is related to the motor function of its own body. When the robot finds a motor-correlated object during motor exploration, visuomotor cues such as body posture and the visual...
Visual motion is a simple yet powerful cue widely used by biological systems to improve their perception and adaptation to the environment. Examples of tasks that greatly benefit from the ability to detect movement are object segmentation, 3D scene reconstruction and control of attention. In computer vision several algorithms for computing visual motion and optic flow exist. However their application...
This work proposes a plausible approach for a humanoid robot to define its own body parts based on the correlation of two different sensory signals: vision and proprioception. The high correlation between the motions in vision and proprioception informs the robot that the visually attractive object is related to the motor function of its own body. When the robot finds the highly motor-correlated object...
This paper proposes a plausible approach for a humanoid robot to discover its own body part based on the coherence of two different sensory feedbacks; vision and proprioception. The image cues of a visually salient region are stored in a visuomotor base with the level of visuo proprioceptional coherence. The high coherence between the motions in the vision and proprioception suggests the visually...
