Manipulator Grasping and Pushing Operations
(1982-06-01)
The primary goal of this research is to develop theoretical tools for analysis, synthesis, application of primitive manipulator operations. The primary method is to extend and apply traditional tools of classical mechanics. ...
Multi-Level Reconstruction of Visual Surfaces: Variational Principles and Finite Element Representations
(1982-04-01)
Computational modules early in the human vision system typically generate sparse information about the shapes of visible surfaces in the scene. Moreover, visual processes such as stereopsis can provide such information at ...
Reasoning Utility Package User's Manual, Version One
(1982-04-01)
RUP (Reasoning Utility Package) is a collection of procedures for performing various computations relevant to automated reasoning. RUP contains a truth maintenance system (TMS) which can be used to perform simple ...
Expert Systems: Where Are We? And Where Do We Go from Here?
(1982-06-01)
Work on Expert Systems has received extensive attention recently, prompting growing interest in a range of environments. Much has been made of the basic concept and the rule-based system approach typically used to ...
A Local Front End for Remote Editing
(1982-02-01)
The Local Editing Protocol allows a local programmable terminal to execute the most common editing commands on behalf of an extensible text editor on a remote system, thus greatly improving speed of response without ...
CARTOON: A Biologically Motivated Edge Detection Algorithm
(1982-06-01)
Caricatures demonstrate that only a few significant "edges" need to be captured to convey the meaning of a complex pattern of image intensities. The most important of these "edges" are image intensity changes arising ...
Parsing and Generating English Using Commutative Transformations
(1982-05-01)
This paper is about an implemented natural language interface that translates from English into semantic net relations and from semantic net relations back into English. The parser and companion generator were implemented ...
Symbolic Error Analysis and Robot Planning
(1982-09-01)
A program to control a robot manipulator for industrial assembly operations must take into account possible errors in parts placement and tolerances of the parts themselves. Previous approaches to this problem have been ...
Implementation of a Theory for Inferring Surface Shape from Contours
(1982-08-01)
Human vision is adept at inferring the shape of a surface from the image of curves lying across the surface. The strongest impression of 3-D shape derives from parallel (but not necessarily equally spaced) contours. ...
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 ...
