Exploiting the Redundancy of a Hand-Arm Robotic System
(1990-10-01)
In this report, a method for exploiting the redundancy of a hand-arm mechanical system for manipulation tasks is illustrated. The basic idea is to try to exploit the different intrinsic capabilities of the arm and hand ...
The Supercomputer Toolkit and Its Applications
(1990-07-01)
The Supercomputer Toolkit is a proposed family of standard hardware and software components from which special-purpose machines can be easily configured. Using the Toolkit, a scientist or an engineer, starting with a ...
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 ...
Synthesizing Regularity Exposing Attributes in Large Protein Databases
(1993-05-01)
This thesis describes a system that synthesizes regularity exposing attributes from large protein databases. After processing primary and secondary structure data, this system discovers an amino acid representation ...
AMAR: A Computational Model of Autosegmental Phonology
(1993-10-01)
This report describes a computational system with which phonologists may describe a natural language in terms of autosegmental phonology, currently the most advanced theory pertaining to the sound systems of human ...
Robust, High-Speed Network Design for Large-Scale Multiprocessing
(1993-09-01)
As multiprocessor system size scales upward, two important aspects of multiprocessor systems will generally get worse rather than better: (1) interprocessor communication latency will increase and (2) the probability ...
Feature Extraction Without Edge Detection
(1993-09-01)
Information representation is a critical issue in machine vision. The representation strategy in the primitive stages of a vision system has enormous implications for the performance in subsequent stages. Existing ...
The Role of Chemical Mechanisms in Neural Computation and Learning
(1995-05-23)
Most computational models of neurons assume that their electrical characteristics are of paramount importance. However, all long-term changes in synaptic efficacy, as well as many short-term effects, are mediated by ...
Automatic Qualitative Modeling of Dynamic Physical Systems
(1993-01-01)
This report describes MM, a computer program that can model a variety of mechanical and fluid systems. Given a system's structure and qualitative behavior, MM searches for models using an energy-based modeling framework. ...
Mid-Level Vision and Recognition of Non-Rigid Objects
(1995-04-01)
We address mid-level vision for the recognition of non-rigid objects. We align model and image using frame curves - which are object or "figure/ground" skeletons. Frame curves are computed, without discontinuities, ...
