چکیده

This paper describes the UMass Lowell entry into the Scavenger Hunt Competition at the AAAI-2005 Robot Competition and Exhibition. The scavenger hunt entry was built on top of the system we have been developing for urban search and rescue (USAR) research. The system includes new behaviors and behavior sequencing, vision algorithms and sensor processing algorithms, all used to locate the objects in the scavenger hunt.

A Multi Agent Approach to Vision Based Robot Scavenging

This paper proposes a design for our entry into the 2006 AAAI Scavenger Hunt Competition and Robot Exhibition. We will be entering a scalable two agent system consisting of off-the-shelf laptop robots, capable of monocular vision. Each robot will demonstrate the ability to localize itself, recognize a set of objects, and communicate with peer robots to share location and coordinate exploration....

Effects of the Bogie and Body Inertia on the Nonlinear Wheel-set Hunting Recognized by the Hopf Bifurcation Theory

Nonlinear hunting speeds of railway vehicles running on a tangent track are analytically obtained using Hopf bifurcation theory in this paper. The railway vehicle model consists of nonlinear primary yaw dampers, nonlinear flange contact stiffness as well as the clearance between the wheel flange and rail tread. Linear and nonlinear critical speeds are obtained using Bogoliubov method. A compreh...

Mixed-Initiative Interactions for Mobile Robot Search

At the INL we have been working towards making robots generally easier to use in a variety of tasks through the development of a robot intelligence kernel and an augmentedvirtuality 3D interface. A robot with the intelligence kernel and the most recent interface design were demonstrated at the AAAI 2006 robot exhibition and took part in the scavenger hunt activity. Instead of delegating all res...

Robot Scavenger Hunt: A Standardized Framework for Evaluating Intelligent Mobile Robots

In recent years, many different types of intelligent mobile robots have been developed in research and industrial labs. Although there are significant differences in both hardware and software over these robots, many of them share a common set of AI capabilities, e.g., planning, learning, vision and natural language processing. At the same time, almost all of them are equipped with traditional ...
