Improving Mobile Robot Control: Sensory Feedback for Touch Interfaces

Extended Abstract—In recent years, touch screen technology has progressed rapidly and has increased in popularity with developers and consumers alike. Touch screen devices, in the forms of shopping kiosks, ATMs, tablet PCs, and smart phones, are now a very prevalent fact of everyday life. Ironically, in more technologically advanced applications such as telerobotics, touch screens are infrequen...

Statistics of fluctuating colloidal fluid-fluid interfaces.

Fluctuations of the interface between coexisting colloidal fluid phases have been measured with confocal microscopy. Due to a very low surface tension, the thermal motions of the interface are so slow that a record can be made of the positions of the interface. The theory of the interfacial height fluctuations is developed. For a host of correlation functions, the experimental data are compared...

FLUID: Specifying Control and Data Flow for User Interfaces

This paper proposes a language for specifying interactive dialogue between a user and an application. Components used to specify the behaviour of the user interface are grouped around natural language requirements. These requirements are formally expressed using a combination of look-up tables and simple coloured petri-nets. They are combined in a hierarchical structure which propagates events ...

Feedback control of fire simulation based on computational fluid dynamics

Visual simulation of fire plays an important role in many applications, such as movies and computer games. In these applications, artists are often requested to synthesize realistic fire with a particular behavior. To meet such requirement, we present a feedback control method for fire simulations. The user can design the shape of fire by placing a set of control points. Our method generates a ...
