Polly: A Vision-Based Artificial Agent

نویسنده

  • Ian Horswill
چکیده

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 that very simple and eecient visual mechanisms can often be used to solve real problems in real (unmod-iied) 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. 1

Agent-Based Control In A Global-Vision Robotic Soccer Team

Robotic soccer is a highly complex domain that has become a significant challenge problem in both mobile robotics and artificial intelligence. Two well-known annual competitions, ROBOCUPand FIRA, allow teams to compete in a number of different leagues distinguished by robot size and hardware restrictions. Because the domain is based on teamwork in a real-time environment, we have found agent-ba...

An Analysis to Wealth Distribution Based on Sugarscape Model in an Artificial Society

 In this paper an artificial society is being assumed as a multi agents system. A sugarscape model consisting of a cellular landscape of resources is used to form an interaction among the agents of the population. In the model, agents find the resources to survive. They are supposed to move and search and because of this movement, an evolutionary social behavior will develope. From model analys...
