From biokinematics to a robotic active vision system.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Barn owls move their heads in very particular motions, compensating for the quasi-immovability of their eyes. These efficient predators often perform peering side-to-side head motions when scanning their surroundings and seeking prey. In this work, w...

Emotional metacontrol of attention: Top-down modulation of sensorimotor processes in a robotic visual search task.

PloS one
Emotions play a significant role in internal regulatory processes. In this paper, we advocate four key ideas. First, novelty detection can be grounded in the sensorimotor experience and allow higher order appraisal. Second, cognitive processes, such ...

Lifelong learning of human actions with deep neural network self-organization.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Lifelong learning is fundamental in autonomous robotics for the acquisition and fine-tuning of knowledge through experience. However, conventional deep neural models for action recognition from videos do not account for lifelong learning but rather l...

Examining accident reports involving autonomous vehicles in California.

PloS one
Autonomous Vehicle technology is quickly expanding its market and has found in Silicon Valley, California, a strong foothold for preliminary testing on public roads. In an effort to promote safety and transparency to consumers, the California Departm...

The effectiveness of various robotic technologies in assisting older adults.

Health informatics journal
There is concern about the expanding size of the ageing population and burgeoning care costs for older adults. Robotic technology could assist older adults. In this study, the effectiveness of the robotic technologies is evaluated. A systematic liter...

Ant-inspired density estimation via random walks.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Many ant species use distributed population density estimation in applications ranging from quorum sensing, to task allocation, to appraisal of enemy colony strength. It has been shown that ants estimate local population density by tracking encounter...

Human-in-the-loop Bayesian optimization of wearable device parameters.

PloS one
The increasing capabilities of exoskeletons and powered prosthetics for walking assistance have paved the way for more sophisticated and individualized control strategies. In response to this opportunity, recent work on human-in-the-loop optimization...

Functional Contour-following via Haptic Perception and Reinforcement Learning.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Many tasks involve the fine manipulation of objects despite limited visual feedback. In such scenarios, tactile and proprioceptive feedback can be leveraged for task completion. We present an approach for real-time haptic perception and decision-maki...
