KAM: Automatic Planning and Interpretation of Numerical Experiments Using Geometrical Methods
(1989-08-01)
KAM is a computer program that can automatically plan, monitor, and interpret numerical experiments with Hamiltonian systems with two degrees of freedom. The program has recently helped solve an open problem in ...
On Probabilistic Strategies for Robot Tasks
(1989-08-01)
Robots must act purposefully and successfully in an uncertain world. Sensory information is inaccurate or noisy, actions may have a range of effects, and the robot's environment is only partially and imprecisely ...
Modelling the Somantic Electrical Response of Hippocampal Pyramidal Neurons
(1989-09-01)
A modeling study of hippocampal pyramidal neurons is described. This study is based on simulations using HIPPO, a program which simulates the somatic electrical activity of these cells. HIPPO is based on a) descriptions ...
A Distributed Model for Mobile Robot Environment-Learning and Navigation
(1990-05-01)
A distributed method for mobile robot navigation, spatial learning, and path planning is presented. It is implemented on a sonar-based physical robot, Toto, consisting of three competence layers: 1) Low-level navigation: ...
Three-Dimensional Motion Estimation Using Shading Information in Multiple Frames
(1989-09-01)
A new formulation for recovering the structure and motion parameters of a moving patch using both motion and shading information is presented. It is based on a new differential constraint equation (FICE) that links the ...
Noise Reduction Using Low Weight and Constant Weight Coding Techniques
(1990-05-01)
Signalling off-chip requires significant current. As a result, a chip's power-supply current changes drastically during certain output-bus transitions. These current fluctuations cause a voltage drop between the chip ...
Fat-Tree Routing for Transit
(1990-02-01)
The Transit network provides high-speed, low-latency, fault-tolerant interconnect for high-performance, multiprocessor computers. The basic connection scheme for Transit uses bidelta style, multistage networks to ...
The Computation of Color
(1989-09-01)
This thesis takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of color vision, focussing on the phenomenon of color constancy formulated as a computational problem. The primary contributions of the thesis are (1) the ...
MARVEL: A System for Recognizing World Locations with Stereo Vision
(1990-06-01)
To use a world model, a mobile robot must be able to determine its own position in the world. To support truly autonomous navigation, I present MARVEL, a system that builds and maintains its own models of world locations ...
Design and Control of an Anthropomorphic Robotic Finger with Multi-point Tactile Sensation
(2001-05-01)
The goal of this research is to develop the prototype of a tactile sensing platform for anthropomorphic manipulation research. We investigate this problem through the fabrication and simple control of a planar 2-DOF robotic ...
