ALLIANCE: An Architecture for Fault Tolerant Multi-Robot Cooperation

by Lynne E. Parker - IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation , 1998
"... ALLIANCE is a software architecture that fa- cilitates the fault tolerant cooperative control of teams of heterogeneous mobile robots performing missions composed of loosely coupled subtasks that may have ordering dependencies. ALLIANCE allows teams of robots, each of which possesses a variety of hi ..."

of high-level functions that it can perform during a mission, to individually select appropriate actions throughout the mission based on the requirements of the mission, the activities of other robots, the current environmental conditions, and the robot's own internal states. ALLIANCE is a fully

Humanoids

by Charles C. Kemp, Paul Fitzpatrick, Hirohisa Hirukawa, Kazuhito Yokoi, Kensuke Harada, Yoshio Matsumoto , 2009
"... Humanoid robots selectively emulate aspects of human form and behavior. Humanoids come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from complete human-size legged robots to isolated robotic heads with human-like sensing and expression. This chapter highlights significant humanoid platforms and achievements, a ..."

Mechanisms of Shared Attention for a Humanoid Robot

by Brian Scassellati , 1996
"... This paper outlines a proposal for constructing mechanisms of shared attention for a humanoid robot through a series of example tasks. Shared attention, the ability to selectively attend to objects that are mutually interesting, is vital for learning from another individual. The platform that we ..."

Emergence of functional hierarchy in a multiple timescale neural network model: A humanoid robot experiment”, PLoS

by Yuichi Yamashita, Jun Tani - Computational Biology
"... It is generally thought that skilled behavior in human beings results from a functional hierarchy of the motor control system, within which reusable motor primitives are flexibly integrated into various sensori-motor sequence patterns. The underlying neural mechanisms governing the way in which cont ..."

Design of an autonomous humanoid robot

by Gordon Wyeth, Damien Kee, Mark Wagstaff, Nathaniel Brewer, Jared Stirzaker, Timothy Cartwright, Bartek Bebel - In Proceedings of the Australian Conference on Robotics and Automation (ACRA 2001 , 2001
"... This paper describes the design of an autonomous humanoid robot. The robot itself is currently under construction, however the process of designing the robot has revealed much about the considerations for creating a robot with humanoid shape. The mechanical design is a complete CAD solids model, wit ..."

Meso: A Biochemical Subsystem for a Humanoid Robot

by Bryan Adams
"... The Problem: While humanoid robotics often focuses on building behaviors around vision and occasionally hearing or touch, a great deal of the information governing the organization and execution of limb movement comes from the energy metabolism that supplies muscles with energy. However, a robot has ..."

Motion generation for humanoid robots with automatically derived behaviors

by D. Erol, J. Park, E. Turkay, K. Kawamura - Proc. of IEEE Int’l. Conf. on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics , 2003
"... Abstract –In this paper, we present a method for motion generation from automatically derived behaviors for a humanoid robot. Behaviors are derived automatically by using the underlying spatio-temporal structure in motion. The derived behaviors are stored in a robot’s long-term (or procedural) memor ..."

A Visual Attention Network for a Humanoid Robot

by J.A. Driscoll, R.A. Peters II, K.R. Cave - In Proceedings of the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS-98 , 1998
"... For a humanoid robot to interact easily with a person, the robot should have human-like sensory capabilities and attentional mechanisms. Particularly useful is an active vision head controlled by a visual attention system that selects viewpoints in the environment as a function of the robot's t ..."

Infant-like social interactions between a robot and a human caretaker

by Cynthia Breazeal, Brian Scassellati - Adaptive Behavior , 2000
"... From birth, human infants are immersed in a social environment that allows them to learn by leveraging the skills and capabilities of their caregivers. A critical pre-cursor to this type of social learning is the ability to maintain interaction levels that are neither overwhelming nor under-stim-ula ..."

We present a specific implementation of this architecture that enables the robot to react appropriately to both social stimuli (faces) and non-social stimuli (moving toys) while maintaining a suitable interaction
