Object manipulation techniques in robotics can be categorized in two major groups including manipulation with and without grasp. The aim of this paper is to develop an object manipulation method where in addition to being grasp-less, the manipulation task is done in a passive approach. In this method, linear and angular positions of the object are changed and its manipulation path is controlled...

Recently SOFL (Structured-Object-based-Formal Language) has been extended to a formal object-oriented language and method while keeping its structured features. This extension allows powerful object-oriented reuse mechanisms, such as class inheritance and object composition, to be utilized in the early design phases. This paper presents the semantics for this extended SOFL and further demonstra...

Objective(s) Cannabinoids have been implicated in memory deficit. We examined the effect of AM281, cannabinoid antagonist/inverse agonist in prevention of scopolamine-induced cognitive deficit. Materials and Methods  Object recognition task was used to evaluate memory in mice. Exploration time in the first and the second trial was recorded. The differences in exploration between a previously...

We propose a method to improve object recognition performance of a robot with an intelligent space system (iSpace). Existing SIFT-based object recognition is powerful, but it has still some limitations. Among limitations, we focus on degraded performance according to the viewpoint change. In order to improve the performance, we use appearance estimation of the object in the point of robot’s vie...

The object-oriented paradigm describes a powerful systemwhere complex systems can be modelled by a network of communicating objects. The object model is powerful because it appeals to our understanding of the world, yet it has serious shortcomings where the model doesn’t match our expectations. In particular, relationships are completely ignored by most object-oriented programming languages. Pr...

as the information carried in a high spatial resolution image is not represented by single pixels but by meaningful image objects, which include the association of multiple pixels and their mutual relations, the object based method has become one of the most commonly used strategies for the processing of high resolution imagery. this processing comprises two fundamental and critical steps towar...

The visual vocabulary is an intermediate level representation which has been proven to be very powerful for addressing object categorization problems. It is generally built by vector quantizing a set of local image descriptors, independently of the object model used for categorizing images. We propose here to embed the visual vocabulary creation within the object model construction, allowing to...

in recent years, formal methods have been used as an important tool for performance evaluation and verification of a wide range of systems. in the view points of engineers and practitioners, however, there are still some major difficulties in using formal methods. in this paper, we introduce a new formal modeling language to fill the gaps between object-oriented programming languages (oopls) us...

in this article we introduce the notion of textit{fractal $omega$-operad} emerging from  a natural $omega$-operad associated to any coglobular object in the category of higher operads in batanin's sense, which in fact is a coendomorphism $omega$-operads. we have in mind coglobular object of higher operads which algebras are kind of higher transformations. it follows that this natural $omega$-op...
