A Program Testing Assistant
(1981-11-01)
This paper describes the design and implementation of a program testing assistant which aids a programmer in the definition, execution, and modification of test cases during incremental program development. The testing ...
Sniffer: A System that Understands Bugs
(1981-06-01)
This paper presents a bug understanding system, called sniffer, which applies inspection methods to generate a deep understanding of a narrow class of errors. Sniffer is an interactive debugging aide. It can locate ...
Some Powerful Ideas
(1981-12-01)
Here is a set of problem solving ideas (absorbed by and developed through the MIT Logo project over many years) presented in such a way as to useful to someone with a Logo computer. With the ideas on unbound, single ...
Computational Approaches to Image Understanding
(1981-10-01)
Recent theoretical developments in Image Understanding are surveyed. Among the issues discussed are: edge finding, region finding, texture, shape from shading, shape from texture, shape from contour, and the representations ...
Diagnostic Reasoning Based on Structure and Behavior
(1984-06-01)
We describe a system that reasons from first principles, i.e., using knowledge of structure and behavior. The system has been implemented and tested on several examples in the domain of troubleshooting digital electronic ...
Selecting One Among the Many: A Simple Network Implementing Shifts in Selective Visual Attention
(1984-01-01)
This study addresses the question of how simple networks can account for a variety of phenomena associated with the shift of a specialized processing focus across the visual scene. We address in particular aspects of ...
The Combinatorics of Local Constraints in Model-Based Recognition and Localization from Sparse Data
(1986-03-01)
The problem of recognizing what objects are where in the workspace of a robot can be cast as one of searching for a consistent matching between sensory data elements and equivalent model elements. In principle, this ...
Basic Solid Mechanics for Tactile Sensing
(1984-03-01)
In order to stably grasp objects without using object models, tactile feedback from the fingers is sometimes necessary. This feedback can be used to adjust grasping forces to prevent a part form slipping from a hand. ...
Model-Based Recognition and Localization from Sparse Range or Tactile Data
(1983-08-01)
This paper discusses how local measurements of three-dimensional positions and surface normals (recorded by a set of tactile sensors, or by three-dimensional range sensors), may be used to identify and locate objects, ...
Hypothesizing Channels through Free-Space in Solving the Findpath Problem
(1983-06-01)
Given a polyhedral environment, a technique is presented for hypothesizing a channel volume through the free space containing a class of successful collision-free paths. A set of geometric constructions between obstacle ...
