The paper addresses the problem of choosing automatically, and without user intervention, the best possible 2D image that should be used to map as a texture on polygons of a geometric model of complex scenes made of several objects. The geometric models and the texture data are obtained separately: the models are built from range data while the texture information is obtained from 2D color images of the scene. The system does not make any assumption on the way the texture data has been acquired. Texture selection results are presented for an indoor scene.

This paper presents the feasibility study of an adaptive impedance force control application to deburring/milling process. The proposed control regulates desired force on nonhomogeneous workpiece in regardless of unknown location and stiffness of the workpiece. The adaptive technique of minimizing the force error between the desired and the actual force is used to compensate for uncertainties in unknown workpiece. Effect of selecting the impedance damping gain with different workpiece stiffness on force tracking is analytically determined. Analyzing the stability of the proposed adaptive force control yields the bound of the adaptive gain for stability. Simulation studies of deburring/milling process show the excellent force tracking and confirm stability bound for stable force tracking.

The objective of the paper is to provide a taxonomy of current research on human interactions with intelligent systems. This embodies human-computer interactions, human-machine interactions, and human-robot interactions. The research undertakings are classified based on five criteria of: research approach, application, system autonomy, interaction distance, and interaction media. Additionally, more than 150 cited references are listed in summary tables with respect to each classification category. This provides an easy guide to search for related works with certain characteristics. The intelligent systems discussed in the paper cover a wide range, including: telerobots, virtual reality, user interfaces, bio-feedback, mobile robots, intelligent interfaces, sport machines, medical technology, human-machine interfaces, entertainment, intelligent systems, computer input/output devices, human-computer interfaces, and multimedia.

In Complex Large Scale Systems there is an oncoming need for more autonomous and intelligent systems, new methodologies from discipline research areas have been proposed. A general formulation for the Overall Control Problem of Complex Systems is presented. Then, the use of a hybrid methodology, which combines fuzzy logic and neural networks, Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM), for the modeling Supervisory Complex Systems, using is investigated. The description and the construction of Fuzzy Cognitive Map is examined and a model for the supervisor is proposed.

Adaptive filtering of damped sinusoids is considered in this paper. Damped sinusoids include sinusoids as a special case. The recently proposed instantaneous matched filter (IMF) approach, its limitation, and a remedy, are discussed. Its recursive implementation that circumvents the limitation is shown to consist of the same equations as those of recursive least squares (RLS) adaptive linear combiner. A procedure that does not require a knowledge of the frequencies and damping factors is discussed. Its modified version leads to the idea of using a projection matrix for orthogonalization, and to the interpretation that an autoregressive RLS scheme is an adaptive null-filter to the class of sinusoidal signals.

This paper presents a summary of a comprehensive research project involving development of a completely autonomous multirobot system for railway track maintenance applications. The specifications of this "real-world" application required us to consider a multirobot system conceptualization, rather than a single robot system.

Presents an algorithm for a simulator to train mobile robot operators in the use of deictic commands. It shows that robots can be deictically controlled in any reasonable environment. Deictic control is a technique which directs the robot by visually servoing on targets pointed out to the robot by its operator. This provides a direct, intuitive control method which any sighted operator can use. Previous work has formally defined canonical targets required for deictic control, and has described a training system for prospective users. This paper extends that work by providing a specific algorithm for the construction of deictically controlled paths. The algorithm is described in detail and results are presented. This algorithm shows that deictic commands and their targets can be simply determined by an agent able to sense the surrounding environment.

Positioning an eye-in-hand robotic system with respect to a static target is a challenging research problem since it involves recognition of the object and the desired pose at which alignment is to occur, planning a trajectory for the robot to attain this pose, and careful calibration of the system and the environment. In this paper we introduce a unified framework based on image morphing, to address the above problems and apply it to the task of translational and rotational alignment of an eye-in-hand system to planar objects or planar projections of 3D objects. In our method the desired manipulator pose for each object is defined and stored as a view of the object taken from this pose. The identity of an unknown object in the workspace is established by morphing its image to the views in the database, and using a quantification of the morph as a dissimilarity measure. The synthetic images generated during the morph are used guide an eye-in-hand system to the desired pose. The framework can accommodate partially occluded or deformable targets and smooth trajectories can be generated since an arbitrary number of intermediate images can be used.
