Human Centered Robotic Systems must be able to interact with humans such that the burden of adaptation lies with the machine and not with the human. This book collates a set of prominent papers presented during a two-day conference on "Human Centered Robotic Systems" held on November 19-20, 2009, in Bielefeld University, Germany.
This book helps transform the awareness of the anticipatory perspective into actionable methods for practitioners of medicine. It provides guidance for those who design new means and methods inspired by epigenetics, in particular to those who advance sustainable alternatives.
Dealing with visual perception in robots and its applications to manipulation and imitation, this monograph focuses on stereo-based methods and systems for object recognition and 6 DoF pose estimation as well as for marker-less human motion capture.
The Diamond Sports Protocol (DSP) presents state-of-the-art techniques for current sport and health technologies, particularly neuromuscular electrical stimulation (Sports Wave), oxygen infusion (Oxy Sports), infrared (Sports Infrared Dome) and lactic acid cleaning (Turbo Sports).
An Insect Brain Computational Model
This book details a framework focused on manipulation interactions that allows the study of the grasp through simulation. It shows that the biomechanical study of the human hand and analysis of robotic manipulation of objects greatly benefit from each other.
This book examines basic forms of locomotion such as walking and running, and explores the use of mathematical models and numerical simulation and optimization techniques, in combination with experimental data, to better understand the underlying mechanisms.
The basic principles guiding sensing, perception and action in bio systems seem to rely on highly organised spatial-temporal dynamics.
This compact, yet comprehensive account of the cognitive and neural mechanisms of human face recognition covers the key neuroimaging techniques for investigating the brain and the clinical and neural features of prosopagnosia, the inability to recognize faces.
With the aid of this book, the reader will learn everything about the self-organization of behavior in robots that is known today. Many of the results are presented here for the first time. This work opens a new field of research.
This book presents the state of the art of cognitive information systems. It details the fundamentals of cognitive informatics, guiding readers on an interesting journey through the intricacies of information and cognitive science.
This book introduces the capability map, a novel general representation of the kinematic capabilities of a robot arm. The coverage includes examples from several distinct application domains, including a bi-manual interface for tele-operation and more.
This book explores the idea of human cognition as a chance-seeking system. It offers novel insights about how to treat some issues pertaining to decision making and problem solving.
This book offers a fundamental scientific approach to tennis. It reveals the secret weapon of Roger Federer as well as presents the blueprint of a future tennis champion.
The Cognitive Systems for Cognitive Assistance (CoSy) project was organized to address the issues of i) theoretical progress on design of cognitive systems ii) methods for implementation of systems and iii) empirical studies to further understand the use and interaction with such systems.
This book covers all major aspects of cutting-edge research in the field of neuromorphic hardware engineering involving emerging nanoscale devices.
This book covers various topics related to complex sports biodynamics. It dispels classical myths of a biomechanically sound serve, forehand, and backhand, and describes and explains the physical and mental abilities of a champion.
This book introduces a biologically inspired 'swarm' intelligence approach for reconfiguring robots, focusing particularly on its application to robots that are able to walk. It is a method aimed at making these robots more autonomous and self-capable.
From Animals to Robots and Back: Reflections on Hard Problems in the Study of Cognition
This book examines the evolution of self-organised multicellular structures, and the remarkable transition from unicellular to multicellular life. It shows the way forward in developing new robotic entities that are versatile, cooperative and self-configuring.
The Visual Neuroscience of Robotic Grasping
Addresses the central role played by development in cognition. This book focuses on applying our knowledge of development in natural cognitive systems, specifically human infants, to the problem of creating artificial cognitive systems in the guise of humanoid robots.
This is the first book on the subject of Performance Capture. It details the overall system in steps which facilitate implementation, describing the whole process from data capture to rendering to the final result.
This book focuses on a critical issue in the study of physical agents, whether natural or artificial: the quantitative modelling of sensory-motor coordination.Adopting a novel approach, it defines a common scientific framework for both the intelligent systems designed by engineers and those that have evolved naturally. As such it contributes to the widespread adoption of a rigorous quantitative and refutable approach in the scientific study of 'embodied' intelligence and cognition. More than 70 years after Norbert Wiener's famous book Cybernetics: or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine (1948), robotics, AI and life sciences seem to be converging towards a common model of what we can call the 'science of embodied intelligent/cognitive agents'. This book is interesting for an interdisciplinary community of researchers, technologists and entrepreneurs working at the frontiers of robotics and AI, neuroscience and general life and brain sciences.
Space-Time Continuous Models of Swarm Robotic Systems presents a control-algorithm-based model that predicts the behavior of large self-organizing robot groups, or robot swarms. Readers will find an extensive look into the interdisciplinary research field of swarm robotics.
The basic principles guiding sensing, perception and action in bio systems seem to rely on highly organised spatial-temporal dynamics.
