2. 1. Learning Object Properties From Manipulation for Manipulation

   Author : Püren Güler; Danica Kragic; Jeremy L. Wyatt; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; robotics; manipulation; object properties; simulation; machine learning; object tracking; active exploration; sensory integration; Computer Science; Datalogi;

   Abstract : The world contains objects with various properties - rigid, granular, liquid, elastic or plastic. As humans, while interacting with the objects, we plan our manipulation by considering their properties. For instance, while holding a rigid object such as a brick, we adapt our grasp based on its centre of mass not to drop it. READ MORE

4. 2. Kripke on Necessity : A Metaphysical Investigation

   Abstract : I undertake a metaphysical investigation of Saul Kripke's modern classic, Naming and Necessity (1980). The general problem of my study may be expressed as follows: What is the metaphysical justification of the validity and existence of the pertinent classes of truths, the necessary a posteriori and the contingent a priori, according to the Kripke Paradigm? My approach is meant to disclose the logical and ontological principles underlying Kripke's arguments for the necessary a posteriori and the contingent a priori respectively. READ MORE

5. 3. Ground Object Recognition using Laser Radar Data : Geometric Fitting, Performance Analysis, and Applications

   Author : Christna Grönwall; Fredrik Gustafsson; Kalle Åström; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Laser radar; object detection; object recognition; performance; least squares; ICP; Cramér-Rao; Signal processing; Signalbehandling;

   Abstract : This thesis concerns detection and recognition of ground object using data from laser radar systems. Typical ground objects are vehicles and land mines. For these objects, the orientation and articulation are unknown. The objects are placed in natural or urban areas where the background is unstructured and complex. READ MORE

6. 4. Object marking in the signed modality : Verbal and nominal strategies in Swedish Sign Language and other sign languages

7. 5. Material perception and action : The role of material properties in object handling

   Author : Kristin Ingvarsdottir; Kognitiv modellering; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; material perception; visual properties; motor planning; cognition; humanoid robot;

   Abstract : This dissertation is about visual perception of material properties and their role in preparation for object handling. Usually before an object is touched or picked-up we estimate its size and shape based on visual features to plan the grip size of our hand. READ MORE
