Multimodal Integration Processes in Plan-Based Service Robot Control**Supported by the German Research Foundation (No. GRK 1247/1)

چکیده
Cross-modal integration processes are essential for service robots to reliably perceive relevant parts of the partially known unstructured environment. We demonstrate how multimodal integration on different abstraction levels leads to reasonable behavior that would be difficult to achieve with unimodal approaches. Sensing and acting modalities are composed to multimodal robot skills via a fuzzy multisensor fusion approach. Single modalities constitute basic robot skills that can dynamically be composed to appropriate behavior by symbolic planning. Furthermore, multimodal integration is exploited to answer relevant queries about the partially known environment. All these approaches are successfully implemented and tested on our mobile service robot platform TASER.

Causal Inference in Graph-Text Constellations: Designing Verbally Annotated Graphs**Supported in part by DFG (German Science Foundation) in ITRG 1247 ‘Cross-modal Interaction in Natural and Artificial Cognitive Systems’ (CI-NACS)
Multimodal documents combining language and graphs are wide-spread in print media as well as in electronic media. One of the most important tasks to be solved in comprehending graph-text combinations is construction of causal chains among the meaning entities provided by modalities. In this study we focus on the role of annotation position and shape of graph lines in simple line graphs on causa...
متن کاملQuality Matters: Some Remarks on Internet Service Provisioning and Tariff Design
Current Internet service plans for residential customers offer little or no choice of different quality levels. Instead, the vast majority encourages waste and leads to user cross-subsidies. However, in order to ensure further Internet growth and efficiently support quality-differentiated network services, users’ choice options have to go beyond different service plans that only reflect a rough...
متن کاملInteractive Multimodal Robot Programming Interactive Multimodal Robot Programming
As robots enter the human environment and come into contact with inexperienced users, they need to be able to interact with users in a multimodal fashion—keyboard and mouse are no longer acceptable as the only input modalities. In this paper we introduce a novel approach for programming robots interactively through a multimodal interface. The key characteristic of this approach is that the user...
متن کاملComparative analysis of automation of production process with industrial robots in Asia/Australia and Europe
The term "INDUSTRY 4.0" or "fourth industrial revolution" was first introduced at the fair in 2011 in Hannover. It comes from the high-tech strategy of the German Federal Government that promotes automation-computerization to complete smart automation, meaning the introduction of a method of self-automation, self-configuration, self-diagnosing and fixing the problem, knowledge and intelligent d...
متن کاملVITRA GUIDE: Multimodal Route Descriptions for Computer Assisted Vehicle Navigation
We present a system that generates multimodal route descriptions for computer assisted vehicle navigation.1 The presentation modes available in Vitra Guide are natural language, maps and perspective views. Depending on situationspecific constraints, e.g., fully specifed route descriptions for pre-trip planning or incremental route descriptions during driving, Vitra Guide allows the coordinated ...
