As humans appear to be literally wired for social interaction, it is not surprising to observe that social aspects of human behavior and psychology attract interest in the computing community as well. The gap between social animal and unsocial machine was ...
Flying robots have the unique advantage of being able to move through the air unaffected by the obstacles or precipices below them. This ability quickly becomes a disadvantage, however, as the amount of free space is reduced and the risk of collisions incr ...
With the advent of the information and related emerging technologies, such as RHO, small size sensors and sensor networks or, more generally, product embedded information devices (PEID), a new generation of products called smart or intelligent products is ...
Recent work has suggested reducing electricity generation cost by cutting the peak to average ratio (PAR) without reducing the total amount of the loads. However, most of these proposals rely on consumer's willingness to act. In this paper, we propose an a ...
Reconfigurable MPSoCs (Multiprocessor System-on-Chip) could be viable for certain applications niche where the flexibility of FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Array) and software is needed, and a small number of units dismiss other silicon options. However, ...
Tensegrity structures are spatial, reticulate and lightweight systems composed of struts and cables. Stability is provided by a self-stress state between tensioned and compressed elements. Tensegrities have received interest among scientists and engineers ...
Evolutionary robotics is a promising approach to overcoming the limitations and biases of human designers in producing control strategies for autonomous robots. However, most work in evolutionary robotics remains solely concerned with optimizing control st ...
The goal of creating machines that autonomously perform useful work in a safe, robust and intelligent manner continues to motivate robotics research. Achieving this autonomy requires capabilities for understanding the environment, physically interacting wi ...
Intelligent query answering in Location-based Services refers to their capability to provide mobile users with personalized and contextualized answers. Personalization is expected to lead to answers that better match user's interests, as inferable from the ...
Implementation of intelligent and bio-inspired algorithms in industrial and real applications is arduous, time consuming and costly; in addition, many aspects of system from high level behavior of algorithm to energy consumption of targeted system must be ...
