Chapter and Conference Paper
Since UAS operate in a complex and uncertain environment where information is obtained through non-ideal sensors, obstacle avoidance is critical in many missions. However, the performance of avoidance algorith...

Chapter and Conference Paper
When attempting to model and understand bat biosonar behaviour, it would be very useful to know exactly what calls the bat emits, that is, what it really says, in the course of its exploration of the world. Ca...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The peripheral auditory system of a lizard is strongly directional. This directionality is created by acoustical coupling of the two eardrums and is strongly dependent on characteristics of the middle ear, suc...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The peripheral auditory system of a lizard is structured as a pressure difference receiver with strong broadband directional sensitivity. Previous work has demonstrated that this system can be implemented as a...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Fully-connected neural networks of non-linear half-center oscillators coupled both electrically and synaptically may exhibit a variety of modes of oscillation despite fixed topology and parameters. In suitable...
Article
The ears of lizards are highly directional. The directionality is generated by strong acoustical coupling of the eardrums. A simple lumped-parameter model of the ear followed by binaural comparisons has been s...

An investigation into capturing the relation of physiology, beyond heart rate recording, to expressed preferences of entertainment in children’s physical gameplay is presented in this paper. An exploratory sur...
Chapter and Conference Paper
This paper introduces quantitative measurements/metrics of qualitative entertainment features within computer game environments and proposes artificial intelligence (AI) techniques for optimizing entertainment...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Lizards, such as Mabuya macularia or Gecko gecko, have a relatively simple peripheral auditory system structured as a pressure difference receiver with a strong broadband directional sensitivity. In this paper we...

This paper describes ground-breaking work on the creation of an ontology for the domain of robotics as a science. An ontology is a collection of terms, concepts and their inter-relationships, represented in a mac...
Chapter and Conference Paper
This paper introduces a statistical approach for capturing enter-tainment in real-time through physiological signals within interactive playgrounds inspired by computer games. For this purpose children’s heart...
