Abstract This paper claims that one way to bridge the gap between Francis Bacon’s speculative philosophy and his natural historical experimental investigations is by looking at peculiar top-down strategy of measuring Nature. Key this construction perceptive instruments, i.e., devices “subtle enough” detect map limits, powers virtues. In paper, I discuss some ideas for development show how parti...

This paper presents a hybrid automata approach for modeling and analyzing the robotic motion planning and control. Robotic systems acquire data from perceptive sensors and respond to the perceptions through decision and control process. The hybrid perceptive framework is built based on continuous and discrete perceptive references. The robot can plan and modifying the original path through swit...

In this paper, we show the evolution from the earliest frame-by-frame synthetic actors to real-time perceptive actors living in distributed virtual environments or even in the real world. We first compare requirements and methods for frame-by-frame and real-time actors. Then, we introduce a new classification of synthetic actors with four categories: participants, guided actors, autonomous acto...

This paper presents a new neural network approach to real-time pattern recognition on a given set of binary (or bipolar) sample patterns. The perceptive neuron of a binary pattern is defined and constructed as a binary neuron with a neighborhood perceptive field. Letting its hidden units be the respective perceptive neurons of the patterns, a three-layer forward neural network is constructed to...

This paper presents an analysis and design method for human/robot integrated systems, especially for the cooperative sensing and operation of human and robot formations in human centered environments. The key for the human/robot formation integrated system is to create a common motion reference that can be understood by both human and the robots in the formation. The perceptive reference frame ...

This paper discusses a perception-based theory for a multi-variate stopping problem with a monotone rule by Yasuda et al. (1982). The problem is developed by using the perceptive analysis of the previous work(Kurano et al. (2004)). We will show a recursive equation which determines the perceptive value of its equilibrium point for the model.

Perceptive or sensorineural deafness occurs as the result of disorders of the cochlea or auditory nerve. The development of perceptive deafness during adult life can create many problems for both the sufferers and their families. At work it may seriously impair efficiency or even make a change of occupation necessary. Social and domestic life are also affected to a varying degree. Many severely...

Visual saliency plays an important role in early vision. Humans automatically orient to salient information, via covert attentional shifts and overt eye movements. Here, we measured saliency using a novel psychophysical method. The stimulus was a grid of colored oriented lines. Line luminance varied continuously over the image. Using a mouse, participants adjusted line luminance at locations in...
