We review the main components of autonomous scientific discovery, and how they lead to the concept of a Robot Scientist. This is a system which uses techniques from artificial intelligence to automate all aspects of the ...

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 ...

We present a framework for the registration and correspondence of magnetic resonance (MR) (three-dimensional data, 3D, data) and x-ray (two-dimensional data, 2D, data) mammographic images. The robustness of this work relies ...

Many search strategies have been exploited in implementing feature selection, in an effort to identify smaller and better subsets. Such work typically involves the use of heuristics in one form or another. In this paper ...

Background: A logical model of the known metabolic processes in S. cerevisiae was constructed from iFF708, an existing Flux Balance Analysis (FBA) model, and augmented with information from the KEGG online pathway database. ...

This paper addresses the problem of detecting bruises on peaches and apricots using machine vision. Bruises were created in a controlled manner on freshly harvested sample fruits. The spectral reflectance characteristics ...

Virtual sensors (software abstractions to support programming of sensor use) have been shown to have software-engineering benefits. A sensor integration system is required to support them. We examine the general requirements ...

Facial behaviour of deception has emerged as an important topic in surveillance research. In this paper, we evaluate the facial behaviour of deception based on some of the cues identified in the literature. First, we present ...
