Puppy Vs. Robot! Epic Battle For Territorial Domination! |
| This is the robot: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000OF50M4?ie=UTF8&tag=demonbaby-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B000OF50M4 When I brought home a Roboquad robot the other day and started playing with it, our resident guardian K9 was none too pleased. I decided to put Roboquad in \"autonomous\" mode, set his aggression level to high, and let the battle unfold. From http://www.demonbaby.com Note: The robot is acting fully on its own, I was not controlling it in any way. |

iCub facial expressions |
| One of our contributions to the RobotCub project was the design of the robot head, face and facial expressions, in addition to the rest of the body cover. This video illustrates the expressions available in the final design. We performed tests in kinder gardens to understand how children evaluate the robot\'s expressions. For more information see: http://www.robotcub.org/ http://vislab.isr.ist.utl.pt/ |

iCub learns objects |
| This video demonstrates an architecture allowing an humanoid robot iCub to learn new objects presented to it. This is done by adding the concept of object to an existent low-level attention system of the robot. When the robot first encounters an unknown object, found to be within a certain (small) distance from its eyes, it stores a cluster of the SIFT visual features present within an interval about that distance, using depth perception. Whenever a previously stored object crosses the robot\'s field of view again, it is recognized and mapped into an egocentrical frame of reference and gazed at. This mapping is persistent, in the sense that its identification and position are kept even if not visible by the robot. More info at http://mediawiki.isr.ist.utl.pt/wiki/Cognitive_Architectures |

Cellular Automata: Conway's Game of Life |
| This is an example of how a simple intial condition with simple rules, can spawn chaos (Chaos Theory), and how in turn that chaos can settle down into a stable shape. It is \"played\" by having spaces on a grid, that either turn off or on, at each moment based on the numbers of currently on neighboring cells, invented by John Horton Conway, software used is winplot32 for rules and more examples see www.radicaleye.com/lifepage/ |
