Dependability of Mobile Robots in Direct Interaction with Humans
Operating interactive mobile robots in unmodified natural environments such as in museums or at exposition areas impose requirements on the robots,... -
Next Generation Teach Pendants for Industrial Robots
Teach pendants for industrial robots have sometimes been quite rudimentary in the past, and often enough users had to learn to cope with whatever is... -
4 Co-existence: Physical Interaction and Coordinated Motion
Co-existence an co-operation between a human and a machine which can move and act in an autonomous mode involves a form of interaction which goes... -
The Robotic Bar – An Integrated Demonstration of a Robotic Assistant
Coming out of the labs, the first robots are currently appearing on the consumer market. Initially they target rather simple application scenarios... -
Learning Behavioral Sequences by Means of Nonlinear Dynamics
We present a software architecture for the behavioral organization of a mobile robot which is entirely based on nonlinear dynamical systems. The... -
The Control Architecture of Care-O-bot II
Robot assistants act in dynamic environments and have to cope with changing situations: they must be able to sense the world and to control their... -
Robotic Home Assistant Care-O-bot II
Technical aids allow elderly and handicapped people to live independently in their private homes as long as they wish. As a contribution to these... -
Statistical Recognition of Motion Patterns
One key prerequisite for a machine to interact intelligently with people is its ability to recognize humans as interaction partners and to understand... -
Modular Neural Networks
We describe in this chapter the basic concepts, theory and algorithms of modular and ensemble neural networks. We will also give particular attention... -
Type-1 Fuzzy Logic
This chapter introduces the basic concepts, notation, and basic operations for the type-1 fuzzy sets that will be needed in the following chapters.... -
Human Recognition using Face, Fingerprint and Voice
We describe in this chapter a new approach for human recognition using as information the face, fingerprint, and voice of a person. We have described... -
Fingerprint Recognition with Modular Neural Networks and Fuzzy Measures
We describe in this chapter a new approach for fingerprint recognition using modular neural networks with a fuzzy logic method for response... -
Voice Recognition with Neural Networks, Fuzzy Logic and Genetic Algorithms
We describe in this chapter the use of neural networks, fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms for voice recognition. In particular, we consider the case... -
6 Beamforming Combined with Multi-channel Acoustic Echo Cancellation
For audio signal acquisition, beamforming microphone arrays can be efficiently used for enhancing a desired signal while suppressing... -
4 Optimum Beamforming for Wideband Non-stationary Signals
Array processing techniques strive for extraction of maximum information from a propagating wave field using groups of sensors, which are located at... -
B Experimental Setups and Acoustic Environments
In this chapter, the experimental setup and the acoustic environments are described, which are used in this work for illustrating the properties of... -
Applications of Fuzzy Logic in Mobile Robots Control
Fuzzy logic is a mathematical tool that can manipulate human reasoning, concepts and linguistic terms. It suits ill-defined systems since it can... -
A Fuzzy Approach on Guiding Model for Interception Flight
This chapter presents an original moving control model based on the fuzzy logic, applied to some navigation special issues. The steps taken on... -
A Qualitative Approach for Symbolic Data Manipulation Under Uncertainty
In decision making problems, the experts knowledge has different natures: numerical, interval-valued, symbolic, linguistic, . . . In other terms, the... -
Clustering with Intelligent Techniques
Cluster analysis is a technique for grou** data and finding structures in data. The most common application of clustering methods is to partition a...
