This paper describes a novel approach that can be used to determine the focal object that a robot is looking at and introduces the unique robotic eye, AttractiveEye. Humans have the visual input mechanism but do not have the output mechanism concerning the visual signal except gestures. AttractiveEye can communicate information regarding the color of an object by changing its color to match that of...
This paper proposes a novel extraction method of a grasped object with a retina-like sensor. The grasped object extraction is necessary for the object perception in the interactive and practical scene. Because, the vision system of robots often faces with registering the object, which is displayed by humans hands or own hands. To realize this task, we use a retina-like sensor. Retina-like sensor has...
Image transmission delay is a serious problem for a remote operator when he/she controls a robot according to the images transmitted by the robot through a narrow band width channel or from extremely distant place. We propose a simple method to improve the remote control operability by introducing the estimated image sequence that is generated from the delayed images. The robot is equipped with an...
A bipolar imager with an amplification function in each pixel has been developed using BiCMOS technology. The imager, which stores photocarriers in the base regions of the bipolar transistor pixels, is called the base-stored image sensor (BASIS). BASIS-type devices have been faced with three problems: (1) a reset transistor is needed in each pixel to initialize base voltage; (2) nonuniformity of offset...
