This paper provides a broad overview of logical and black box approaches to fuzzy and rough hybridization. The logical approaches include theoretical, supervised learning, feature selection, and unsupervised learning. The ...

Basic elements of cognition have been identified in the behaviour displayed by animal collectives, ranging from honeybee swarms to human societies. For example, an insect swarm is often considered a “super-organism” that ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In this paper we present a phenomenographic analysis of computer science instructors' perceptions of student success. The factors instructors believe influence student success fell into five categories which were related ...

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 ...
