We discuss a distributed object-oriented system written in LISP that implements KNOs (KNowledge acquisition, dissemination and manipulation Objects). The system emphasizes advanced features like object autonomy, mobility and dynamic inheritance. The objects are active, independent entities that can travel in a local area network and protect themselves from external aggressions. A dynamic inheri...

|We present an interactive manipulation path planner under development for providing high-level task-based control for humanoid robots. Using a graphical simulation environment, the software is designed to facilitate the automation of object grasping and manipulation tasks. A randomized path planner is used to directly search the free con guration space of the robot for a collision-free manipul...
