Risk Bounds for Mixture Density Estimation
(2004-01-27)In this paper we focus on the problem of estimating a boundeddensity using a finite combination of densities from a givenclass. We consider the Maximum Likelihood Procedure (MLE) and the greedy procedure described by Li ...

Risk Bounds for Regularized Least-squares Algorithm with Operator-valued kernels
(2005-05-16)We show that recent results in [3] on risk bounds for regularized least-squares on reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces can be straightforwardly extended to the vector-valued regression setting. We first briefly introduce ...

Risk-minimizing program execution in robotic domains
(2012-02-02)In this thesis, we argue that autonomous robots operating in hostile and uncertain environments can improve robustness by computing and reasoning explicitly about risk. Autonomous robots with a keen sensitivity to risk can ...

Rita+ : an SGML based document processing system
(University of Cape TownFaculty of ScienceDepartment of Computer Science, 1993)Rita+ is a structured syntax directed document processing system, which allows users to edit documents interactively, and display these documents in a manner determined by the user. The system is SGML (Standard Generalized ...

Robot Manipulation in Human Environments
(2007-01-16)Human environments present special challenges for robot manipulation. They are often dynamic, difficult to predict, and beyond the control of a robot engineer. Fortunately, many characteristics of these settings can be ...

Robot Motion Vision by Fixation
(1992-09-01)In many motion-vision scenarios, a camera (mounted on a moving vehicle) takes images of an environment to find the "motion'' and shape. We introduce a direct-method called fixation for solving this motion-vision problem ...

Robot Programming
(1982-12-01)The industrial robot's principal advantage over traditional automation is programmability. Robots can perform arbitrary sequences of pre-stored motions or of motions computed as functions of sensory input. This paper ...

A Robot that Walks: Emergent Behaviors from a Carefully Evolved Network
(1989-02-01)Most animals have significant behavioral expertise built in without having to explicitly learn it all from scratch. This expertise is a product of evolution of the organism; it can be viewed as a very long term form ...

Robot Utility Functions
(1969-02-01)This document describes a set of routines which have been provided at both the monitor and user level to facilitate the following operations: 1) Vidissector input; 2) Pot Box input; 3) Arm motion; and 4) Display list ...

Robust 2-D Model-Based Object Recognition
(1988-05-01)Techniques, suitable for parallel implementation, for robust 2D model-based object recognition in the presence of sensor error are studied. Models and scene data are represented as local geometric features and robust ...

Robust Agent Control of an Autonomous Robot with Many Sensors and Actuators
(1993-05-01)This thesis presents methods for implementing robust hexpod locomotion on an autonomous robot with many sensors and actuators. The controller is based on the Subsumption Architecture and is fully distributed over ...

A Robust Amorphous Hierarchy from Persistent Nodes
(2003-05-01)For a very large network deployed in space with only nearby nodes able to talk to each other, we want to do tasks like robust routing and data storage. One way to organize the network is via a hierarchy, but hierarchies ...

Robust and cheating-resilient power auctioning on Resource Constrained Smart Micro-Grids
(University of Cape TownFaculty of ScienceDepartment of Computer Science, 2018)The principle of Continuous Double Auctioning (CDA) is known to provide an efficient way of matching supply and demand among distributed selfish participants with limited information. However, the literature indicates that ...

Robust and Efficient 3D Recognition by Alignment
(1992-09-01)Alignment is a prevalent approach for recognizing 3D objects in 2D images. A major problem with current implementations is how to robustly handle errors that propagate from uncertainties in the locations of image ...

Robust Execution of Bipedal Walking Tasks From Biomechanical Principles
(2006-04-28)Effective use of robots in unstructured environments requires that they have sufficient autonomy and agility to execute task-level commands successfully. A challenging example of such a robot is a bipedal walking machine. ...

Robust identification of dynamically distinct regions in stratified turbulence
(Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2016-10-18)We present a new robust method for identifying three dynamically distinct regions in a stratified turbulent flow, which we characterise as quiescent flow, intermittent layers and turbulent patches. The method uses the ...

A Robust Layered Control System for a Mobile Robot
(1985-09-01)We describe a new architecture for controlling mobile robots. Layers of control system are built to let the robot operate at increasing levels of competence. Layers are made up of asynchronous modules which communicate ...
