Control of mobile robot actions

Proceedings, 1989 International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2003
The authors present a control system architecture for mobile robots able to execute missions specified by a user and having reactivity and error recovery capacities. The architecture is based on three types of entities: modules that accomplish basic computations on data from sensors; processes that establish dynamic links between perception and action ...

Action monitoring in cognitive robots

2014 22nd Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU), 2014
Cognitive robots need to detect execution failures in runtime to prevent potential damages to their environments or objects in their interest. For this reason, robots monitor the execution to detect any inconsistencies. In this paper, we propose a hybrid monitoring system that processes different sensory data from different sources by using both model ...

Autonomous action robot

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2005
An autonomous action robot which can turn its line of sight to face a person who calls out, can recognize the face of a person, and can perform various actions in response to commands. First, a sound emitted from a person or other sound source is detected by a sound detector, and the direction of the sound source is specified based on the detected ...

Modelling the actions of an intervention robot

Proceedings 1992 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2003
Reviews the inadequacies of models of robot actions, proposed in the literature for intervention tasks. The STRIPS-inspired model of robot actions defined in terms of pre-conditions and post-conditions is extended by defining conditions which qualify the execution contexts of the actions.

Actions and Imagined Actions in Cognitive Robots

2010
Natural/Artificial systems that are capable of utilizing thoughts at the service of their actions are gifted with the profound opportunity to mentally manipulate the causal structure of their physical interactions with the environment. A cognitive robot can in this way virtually reason about how an unstructured world should “change,” such that it ...

Speech and action: integration of action and language for mobile robots

2007 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2007
We describe the tight integration of incremental natural language understanding, goal management, and action processing in a complex robotic architecture, which is required for natural interactions between robots and humans. Specifically, the natural language components need to process utterances while they are still spoken to be able to initiate ...

Grounding Neural Robot Language in Action

2005
In this paper we describe two models for neural grounding of robotic language processing in actions. These models are inspired by concepts of the mirror neuron system in order to produce learning by imitation by combining high-level vision, language and motor command inputs.

Coordinaton of Action and Perception in a Surveillance Robot

IEEE Expert, 1987
This paper describes a system in which twin hierarchies for navigation and perception are controlled by a knowledge based supervisor. At the top level, these hierarchies contain collections procedures which implement the "skills" of the system in locomotion and spatial reasoning.

An architecture for action selection in robotic soccer

Proceedings of the fifth international conference on Autonomous agents, 2001
CMUnited-99 was the 1999 RoboCup robotic soccer simulator league champion. In the RoboCup-2000 competition, CMUnited-99 was entered again and despite being publicly available for the entire year, it still finished in 4th place. This paper presents some of the key elements behind \attcmunited, one of the three teams that finished ahead of CMUnited-99 ...
