The following topics are discussed: distributed artificial intelligence; knowledge-based systems; ontologies; natural language processing; machine learning and data mining; pattern recognition; neural networks; genetic and hybrid intelligent systems; computer vision and image processing; robotics, planning and scheduling; uncertainty, probabilistic reasoning and fuzzy logic; multiagent systems; and...
A method for recovering dense range maps from sparse range maps by using statistical analysis of visual cues is presented. The proposed technique is based on constructing a 3D map of a real environment, which in turn, requires visual information to densely cover the environment to be placed. Moreover, the method relies only on the information coming from intensity images taken at the scene in question...
Psychological studies on human interactions made surface the notion perspective taking. This notion, referring to reason on other persons' points of view, eases the communication between interacting individuals. For a robot interacting with people, we believe that perspective taking can play an important role that will allow the robot to understand, reason and act according to human's point of view...
There are numerous studies to find efficient ways for exploring and generating maps for unknown environments. Unfortunately, most of the studies deal with single robots. In this paper, we propose a cooperative exploration strategy for mobile robots. The extension of the SRT method to the case of multiple robots is essentially a parallelization of the basic method. To this simple extension, the following...
In this paper we present a new approach for the solution of Markov decision processes based on the use of an abstraction technique over the action space, which results in a set of abstract actions. Markovian processes have successfully solved many probabilistic problems such as: process control, decision analysis and economy. But for problems with continuous or high dimensionality domains, high computational...
Several researches with flexible manipulator robot had been developed using an electrical actuator while other research works deal with pneumatic control, but both investigation lines had been used in separate way. Our goal is simulate the control position angle for the flexible arm, limited to one degree of freedom. We propose an interaction between the pneumatic control and the flexible manipulator...
