Combating identity fraud is prominent and urgent since false identity has become the common denominator of all serious crime. Typical approaches to detecting false identity rely on the similarity measure of text-based ...

Xray imaging is a well established technique of detecting strongly attenuating materials and has been applied to a number of inspection applications within the agricultural and food industries. However, there are still ...

This paper presents a model of ocular-motor development, inspired by ideas and data from developmental psychology. The learning problem concerns the growth of the transform between image space and motor space necessary for ...

Developmental robotics is concerned with the design of algorithms that promote robot adaptation and learning through qualitative growth of behaviour and increasing levels of competence. This paper uses ideas and inspiration ...

With autonomous robotic systems increasingly being used for various tasks including research projects, their ability to operate away from their ideal laboratory environment comes into question. Whilst long term autonomous ...

In this paper, we show how a simulated humanoid robot controlled by an artificial neural network can acquire the ability to manipulate spherical objects located over a table by reaching, grasping, and lifting them. The ...

Robotic systems range from teleoperated to fully autonomous (where no human intervention takes place). The word “telerobotic” describes robotic systems which, although guided by a human, have a degree of autonomous behavior. ...

Like computer chess, robot soccer can be thought of as a game in which the agents on one team cooperate to control more space more comprehensively than the opposing team. Tactical issues such as winning and holding the ...
