  2. 21. Components of Embodied Visual Object Recognition : Object Perception and Learning on a Robotic Platform

    Author : Marcus Wallenberg; Per-Erik Forssén; Mårten Björkman; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; computer vision; object recognition; stereo vision; classification;

    Abstract : Object recognition is a skill we as humans often take for granted. Due to our formidable object learning, recognition and generalisation skills, it is sometimes hard to see the multitude of obstacles that need to be overcome in order to replicate this skill in an artificial system.

    Abstract : During face-to-face meetings, humans use multimodal information, including verbal information, visual information, body language, facial expressions, and other non-verbal gestures. In contrast, during computer-mediated-communication (CMC), humans rely either on mono-modal information such as text-only, voice-only, or video-only or on bi-modal information by using audiovisual modalities such as video teleconferencing.

  5. 23. Evolutionary Humanoids for Embodied Artificial Intelligence

    Author : Krister Wolff; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; linear genetic programming; bipedal locomotion; humanoid robotics; evolutionary algorithms;

    Abstract : The work presented in this thesis aims at investigating the potential of a proposed methodology to create a cognitive control architecture for a humanoid robot. This architecture comprises three hierarchical layers: the reactive layer, the model building layer, and the reasoning layer. READ MORE

  6. 24. The Virtual Language Teacher : Models and applications for language learning using embodied conversational agents

    Author : Preben Wik; Björn Granström; Olov Engwall; Valerie Hazan; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Language learning; embodied conversational agents; speech technology; computer assisted language learning; computer assisted pronunciation training; Information technology; Informationsteknik; SRA - ICT; SRA - Informations- och kommunikationsteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a framework for computer assisted language learning using a virtual language teacher. It is an attempt at creating, not only a new type of language learning software, but also a server-based application that collects large amounts of speech material for future research purposes.
