A knowledge-based system (COMEX) is presented which replaces or augments the human operator of a communication station in a multilink, multidrop communication network. The system accepts some preliminary information from a human operator, from utility programs running on the same processor, and from external sensors. The system comprises an expert system that operates on three distinct knowledge bases in order to reach an optimal solution for the communication problem. COMEX is written in Turbo Pascal and runs on an IBM-compatible PC, which functions as the communication station controller. When used in a fully automatic mode, it performs efficiently all the functions of an experienced and expert operator, equipment parameters selection and setting, and complete message handling.< >

The authors identify four important task requirements for dextrous robot hand control. These requirements are stability, manipulability, torquability, and radial rotatability. High-level task descriptions, supplied by the user, are refined into detailed task descriptions that can be used to drive a robot hand. A knowledge-based approach for refining a reasonable set of tasks is used to infer values for a set of task attributes, which trigger several heuristics. Those heuristics are applied using a set of metaheuristics to determine good grasp postures and poses for the task. How to use this multidimensional grasping quality in grasp mode selection and performance evaluation is shown in an industrial assembly domain.< >

As various dextrous robot hands are designed and built, a major question is how to develop device-independent robot hand controllers. This would allow the low-level control problems to be separated from high level functionality. GeSAM is a generic robot hand controller that is based on a model of human prehensile function. It focuses on the relationship between geometric object primitives and the ways a hand can perform prehensile behaviors. The authors show how the relationship between object primitives and a useful set of grasp modes can be learned by an adaptive neural network. By adding training points as necessary, system performance can be improved, avoiding the tedious job of computing every relationship by hand.< >

A system is presented which automatically constructs an assembly partial-order graph from an object-oriented model describing parts and their connections. The construction is based on the principle of assembly by disassembly and on assembly heuristics representing criteria for preferred subassemblies. The system first identifies disassemblable parts and subassemblies by reasoning geometric and physical constraints as well as resource requirements, and then assigns preference to the identified disassembly options based on assembly heuristics. The recursive application of this process to the selected disassemblies results in a hierarchical partial-order graph (HPOG). The HPOG not only specifies the required precedence in part assembly but also provides parallelism for implementing multiple-robot distributed and cooperative assembly. The software is organized under the cooperative-problem-solving paradigm.< >

The authors present a learning expert system which enables a robot to acquire fine motion skills automatically. The system follows the paradigm of Expert Assisted Robot Skill Acquisition (EARSA) proposed by the authors (1987). EARSA is mainly concerned with the self-discovery of skills by a robot in conjunction with the transfer of human skills to a robot and emphasizes the distinctive difference in perceptual and physical capabilities between a human and a robot. The authors review the theory and mechanism of EARSA, describe the robot fine motion skill learning algorithm formulated on the basis of EARSA, and present the details of simulation on the robot learning of two-dimensional peg-hole insertion skills. The results of simulation indicate the dramatic improvement of performance as a result of skill learning.< >

The Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG) operator is one of the most popular operators used in edge detection. This operator, however, has some problems: zero-crossings do not always correspond to edges, and edges with an asymmetric profile introduce a symmetric bias between edge and zero-crossing locations. The authors offer solutions to these two problems. First, for one-dimensional signals, such as slices from images, they propose a simple test to detect true edges, and, for the problem of bias, they propose different techniques: the first one combines the results of the convolution of two LoG operators of different deviations, whereas the others sample the convolution with a single LoG filter at two points besides the zero-crossing. In addition to localization, these methods allow them to further characterize the shape of the edge. The authors present an implementation of these techniques for edges in 2-D images.< >

In Fourier optics, the Fourier transformation is performed on the amplitude of the electromagnetic wave, whereas in the computational method the transformation is usually applied to the grayness of its image which is proportional to the intensity of the electromagnetic signal.
