First results in eliminating crosstalk and noise by applying pseudo-random sequences to mobile robot sonar sensing

Crosstalk is one of the most severe problems in conventional mobile robot sonar sensing. This paper addresses the crosstalk-problem and presents first and promising results of a new approach which enables a mobile robot to fire its sonar sensors simultaneously while totally eliminating misreadings caused by crosstalk or external ultrasound sources. This is achieved by carefully designing the em...

Task-model based human robot cooperation using vision

We are currently engaged in advancing research in human-robot cooperation with the goal of realizing service robots in homes and offices. In order to assist humans, robots must correctly identify the tasks that humans intend to perform, and then devise strategies to perform those tasks. To accomplish this, we first define the framework of a task model for assisting a human's work. The robot the...

On The Revised Theory Of Intelligent Machines

After several years of experience the Theory of Intelligent Machines has been reformulated analytically to reflect the present state of the art. The functions of an Intelligent Machines are executed by Intelligent Controls. The Principle of Increasing Precision with Decreasing Intelligence is used to form a hierarchical structure of the control systems. Distributed Intelligence in compatible wi...
