Polly: A Visisn- ased Artificial Agent
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper I will describe Polly, a low cost visionbased robot that gives primitive tours. The system is very simple, robust and efficient, and runs on a hardware platform which could be duplicated for less than $lOK US. The system was built to explore how knowledge about the structure the environment can be used in a principled way to simplify both visual and motor processing. I will argue that very simple and efficient visual mechanisms can often be used to solve real problems in real (unmodified) environments in a principled manner. I will give an overview of the robot, discuss the properties of its environment, show how they can be used to simplify the design of the system, and discuss what lessons can drawn for the design of other systems.r

Polly: A Vision-Based Artificial Agent
In this paper I will describe Polly, a low cost vision-based robot that gives primitive tours. The system is very simple, robust and eecient, and runs on a hardware platform which could be duplicated for less than $10K US. The system was built to explore how knowledge about the structure the environment can be used in a principled way to simplify both visual and motor processing. I will argue t...
متن کاملMplementing V Irtual a Gents : a Haba - B Ased a Pproach
In recent years developments in gaming technology have focused on Massively Multi-User Persistent Worlds. This virtual communities host thousands of users interacting with each other through the Internet in real time. Such communities require new distributed programming paradigms for implementing the virtual life management. In this work we present a practical methodology to add Virtual Agents ...
متن کاملPOLLy: A Conversational System that uses a Shared Representation to Generate Action and Social Language
We present a demo of our conversational system POLLy (POliteness in Language Learning) which uses a common planning representation to generate actions to be performed by embodied agents in a virtual environment and to generate spoken utterances for dialogues about the steps involved in completing the task. In order to generate socially appropriate dialogue, Brown and Levinson’s theory of polite...
متن کاملSaliency in Human-Computer Interaction
This paper considers ways in which a person can cue and constrain an artificial agent’s attention to salient features. In one experiment, a person uses gestures to direct an otherwise autonomous robot hand through a known task. Each gesture instantiates the key spatial and intentional features for the task at that moment in time. In a second experiment, which is work in progress, a person will ...
متن کاملAsed-aim Analysis of Scattering by Large- Scale Finite Periodic Arrays
In this paper, the Adaptive Integral Method (AIM) has been extended to characterizing electromagnetic scattering by large scale finite periodic arrays with each cell comprising of either dielectric or metallic objects, by utilizing accurate sub-entire-domain (ASED) basis function. The solution process can be carried out in two steps. In the first step, a small problem is solved in order to cons...
