In industrial assembly, a registration mark can be placed on parts to aid a computer vision system in determining the position and orientation (pose) of parts. However, when sensor noise and limits on resolution introduce errors in the measured location of the registration mark, these errors can propagate into the measurement of part pose. In this paper, we define the registration mark problem: given an n-sided rigid planar polygonal part-and a set of k poses for the part, locate a point on the surface of the part that maximizes the minimum distance between transformed points. A registration mark at this point will be maximally robust to sensor imperfections. We give an 0(n log n + k4 log k log* k) time algorithm to solve this planar problem using a result from Schwartz and Sharir [21], and demonstrate the algorithm using a commercial vision system. Our results extend to classes of curved planar parts and polyhedral parts.

The increasing demand for robotic applications in unstructured environments is motivating the need for dextrous end-effecters which can cope with the wide variety of tasks and objects encountered in these environments, A new anthropomorphic robot hand (Anthrobot) which was designed for these environments is described. In this paper, the problem of developing the kinematics and unit consistent hybrid position/force control of the Anthrobot fingers is considered as the first step toward its utilization for either teleoperation or autonomous operation, A dynamic model of the fingers is identified and used to develop the control laws, The experimental results of applying the control to the Anthrobot are discussed.

Recent advances in understanding the source of intelligent behaviour show that it is strongly supported on the use of a large and sophisticated memory. Constant increase of processing power and constant cost decrease of computer memory have encouraged research in vision-based methods for robot navigation. The present approach uses images stored into a Sparse Distributed Memory, implemented in parallel in a Graphics Processing Unit, as a method for robot localization and navigation. Algorithms for following previously learnt paths using visual and odometric information are described. A stack-based method for avoiding random obstacles, using visual information, is proposed. The results show the algorithms are adequate for indoors robot localization and navigation.
In this paper we propose a two-tiered hierarchical Bayesian model to estimate the location of objects moving independently from the observer. Biological vision systems are very successful in motion segmentation, since...

The present paper describes exploratory work in which a Sparse Distributed Memory (SDM) was applied as a text classifier. The SDM is a type of associative memory based on the properties of high-dimensional spaces, where data are stored based on pattern similarity. The results obtained with the SDM are surprisingly good, for they can be achieved with little or none pre-processing. They are far superior to the performance of a "dumb classifier," though still inferior to the results obtained with other modern methods.
