  • Special Issue on Swarm Cognition 
    Trianni, Vito; Kevin, Passino; Tuci, Elio (2011-03-01)
  • Staged Competence Learning in Developmental Robotics 
    Lee, Mark; Meng, Qinggang; Chao, Fei (2007)
    Developmental psychology has long recognized the presence of stages in human cognitive development, although the underlying causes and processes are still an open question and subject to much debate. This article draws ...
  • Staged development of Robot Motor Coordination 
    Lee, Mark; Meng, Qinggang (IEEE, 2005)
    We describe an approach to sensory-motor learning and coordination that draws from psychology rather than neuroscience. The growth of the motor coordination is controlled through sequential lifting of constraints, which ...
  • Surface Operation Requirements for the ExoMars Rover Vehicle Instrument Deployment Arm (IDA) 
    Barnes, David Preston; Tyler, Laurence (2008-11)
    A preliminary baseline design for the ExoMars IDA is the Beagle 2 (B2) arm, and the AU study has made extensive use of the B2 Development Model (DM) arm [Barnes-02, Barnes-03] which was part of the B2 Ground Test Model ...
  • Swarm Cognition and Artificial Life 
    Trianni, Vito; Tuci, Elio (2009)
    Swarm Cognition is the juxtaposition of two relatively unrelated concepts that evoke, on the one hand, the power of collective behaviours displayed by natural swarms, and on the other hand the complexity of cognitive ...
  • Swarm Cognition: an Interdisciplinary Approach to the study of Self-organising Biological Collectives 
    Kevin, Passino; Tuci, Elio; Marshall, James; Trianni, Vito (2011-03-01)
  • A System for Affordance Based learning of Object Grasping in a Robot 
    Wilson, James (2010-05-19)
    A system is described which takes synergies extracted from human grasp experiments and maps these onto a robot vision and hand-arm platform to facilitate the transfer of skills \cite{tao2010}. This system forms part of a ...
  • Tactile Sensing for Mechatronics: A State of the Art Survey 
    Lee, Mark; Nicholls, Howard (1999-01)
    In this paper we examine the state of the art in tactile sensing for mechatronics. We define a tactile sensor as a device or system that can measure a given property of an object or contact event through physical contact ...
  • Tactile Sensing: new directions, new challenges 
    Lee, Mark (2000-07)
    Over the past three decades, tactile sensing has developed into a sophisticated technology. There has been a longstanding and widely held expectation that tactile sensors would have a major impact on industrial robotics ...
  • Taking Fuzzy-Rough Application to Mars: Fuzzy-Rough Feature Selection for Mars Terrain Image Classification 
    Shang, Changjing; Barnes, David Preston; Shen, Qiang (Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2009)
    This paper presents a novel application of fuzzy-rough setbased feature selection (FRFS) for Mars terrain image classification. The work allows the induction of low-dimensionality feature sets from sample descriptions of ...
  • Teaching by Example in Food Assembly by Robot 
    Williams, Tomos; Rowland, Jem; Lee, Mark; Neal, Mark (IEEE, 2000-04)
    Sectors of the food processing industry have challenging requirements for automation: short batches, product innovation, variation in component shape, all with high production volume. Hard-programmed automation cannot ...
  • Teaching from Examples in Assembly and Manipulation of Snack Food Ingredients by Robot 
    Williams, Tomos; Rowland, Jem; Lee, Mark (IEEE, 2001-11)
    We report the results of a programme of work that allows us to specify and execute robotic assembly of snack food products such as sandwiches and pizzas simply by presenting to the system hand-prepared examples of the ...
  • Technologies for Autonomous Sailing: Wings and Wind Sensors 
    Alves, Jose Carlos; Thomas, Barry; Neal, Mark; Sauze, Colin (2009-07-10)
    The current generation of sailing robots require a small number of essential components in order to function successfully. These include some kind of sail and a device for de- tecting the direction of the wind, in order ...
  • Telerobotic Sheepdogs: how useful is autonomous behaviour? 
    Wilson, Myra; Neal, Mark (2000)
  • Timidity: A useful emotional mechanism for robot control? 
    Timmis, John; Neal, Mark (2003)
    Responses labelled as emotional in the higher animals are frequently portrayed as incidental to the generation of reasonable behavior. Clearly this view is incompatible with the reality of animal behavior as observed in ...
  • To grip, or not to grip: Evolving coordination in autonomous robots 
    Ampatzis, Christos; Santos, Francisco; Tuci, Elio; Trianni, Vito (2009)
    In evolutionary robotics, as in the animal world, performing a task which is beneficial to the entire group demands the coordination of different individuals. Whenever time-dependent dynamic allocation of roles is needed ...
  • Towards cognitive robotics: Robotics, biology and developmental psychology 
    Lee, Mark; Nehmzow, Ulrich; Rodrigues, Marcos (Palgrave Macmillan, 2012-06-13)
    In cognitive science, modelling has many useful roles, one of which is to inspire attempts to realise an artificially intelligent agent or autonomous robot. However, there still remains a large gulf between the behaviour ...
  • Transferring human grasping synergies to a robot 
    Geng, Tao; Lee, Mark; Hülse, Martin (2011-02)
    In this paper, a system for transferring human grasping skills to a robot is presented. In order to reduce the dimensionality of the grasp postures, we extracted three synergies from data on human grasping experiments and ...
  • Two Examples of Active Categorisation Processes Distributed Over Time 
    Tuci, Elio; Nolfi, Stefano; Mirolli, Marco; Ferrauto, Tomassino; Massera, Gianluca (2009-10-12)
    Active perception refers to a theoretical approach grounded on the idea that perception is an active process in which the actions performed by the agent play a constitutive role. In this paper we present two different ...
  • The Voronoi Game in Robot Coordination 
    Law, James; Johnson, Jeffrey (2006)
    Cooperation and communication are two of the fundamental problems associated with research into multirobot systems. In our work we examine the interactions of a team of robot footballers. Like computer chess and Go, robot ...
