SEW representation for low rate WI coding

This paper considers low-rate Waveform Interpolation (WI) coding. It compares the existing, common Slowly Evolving Waveform (SEW) quantisation scheme with two new schemes for representing and quantising the SEW. The first scheme uses a minimum phase estimate to reconstruct the SEW whilst the second scheme uses a pulse model whose parameters are implicitly transmitted in the quantised rapidly ev...

Special issue on Assistive Computer Vision and Robotics - Part I

h 1 In the last decades, there has been a tremendous increase in deand for assistive technologies useful to overcome functional limtations of individuals and to improve their quality of life. Assistive echnologies provide a set of advanced tools that can improve the uality of life not only for impaired people, patients and elderly ut also for healthy people struggling with everyday actions.

CULTURAL ROBOTICS: The Culture of Robotics and Robotics in Culture

In this paper, we have investigated the concept of "Cultural Robotics" with regard to the evolution of social into cultural robots in the 21st Century. By defining the concept of culture, the potential development of a culture between humans and robots is explored. Based on the cultural values of the robotics developers, and the learning ability of current robots, cultural attributes in this re...
