An Emotion-Based Approach to Robotics - Intelligent Robots and Systems, 1999. IROS '99. Proceedings. 1999 IEEE/RSJ International Conferenc

We describe a different approach to robotics in which emotions are at center-stage playing a much larger role than just that of facilitating emotional expression. Drawing inspiration from work in Psychology, Neuroscience, and Ethology, we have developed a computational framework that captures important aspects of emotional processing and integrates these with other models of perception, attenti...

Towards a realistic echographic simulator with force feedback

This paper proposes a mass-spring model of a human thigh based on real data acquired. It addresses both the di culties of determining the parameters of this model to t the measurements and the computational demands. Implicit integration is used to update the model through time. The motivation behind this work is to provide accurate force-feedback for an echographic simulator that could be used ...

Characteristics of Optimal Solutions in Resolving Manipulator Redundancy under Inequality Constraint - Intelligent Robots and Systems, 1999. IROS '99. Proceedings. 1999 IEEE/RSJ International Conferenc

This paper presents our finding of a critical point that has not been reported thus far in the inverse kinematics of redundant manipulators under inequality constraints. The critical point, named algorithmic barrier, was first encountered in the form of peculiar phenomena in our experiment of 8-DOF robot, which we believe to have the significance in the order of so-called algorithmic singularit...

Time-Varying Input Shaping Technique Applied to Vibration Reduction of An Industrial Robot - Intelligent Robots and Systems, 1999. IROS '99. Proceedings. 1999 IEEE/RSJ International Conferenc

I t is widely and frequently observed that industrial robots conducting fas t mot ion involve serious residual vibration, the period of which varies with t ime. T o this problem, this paper presents a practical solution by providing a practical design and application of time-varying input shaping technique ( T V I S T ) for a n industrial robot. T o suppress the tame-varying vibration, at first...
