An automatic disassembly cell requires of a
computer vision system for recognition and localization of
the products and each of theirs components. The detection
of occlusions adds more information to the knowledge base
to identify components and products, and generate…

This article overviews the concepts of distributed intelligence, outlining the motivations for studying this field of research. First, common systems of distributed intelligence are classified based upon the types of interactions exhibited, since the type of interaction has relevance to…

This paper introduces a model of spatial cognition to describe the states of partial knowledge that people have about the spatial structure of a large-scale environment. Spatial knowledge has several different representations, each of which captures one aspect of the…

Surfaces of buildings at the archaeological site of Palenque, Mexico, are colonized by cyanobacteria that form biofilms, which in turn cause aesthetic and structural damage. The structural characterization and species composition of biofilms from the walls of one of these…

The Listener is an automated system that unintrusively performs knowledge acquisition from informal input. The Listener develops a coherent internal representation of a description from an initial set of disorganized, imprecise, incomplete, ambiguous, and possibly inconsistent statements. The Listener can…

This thesis confronts the nature of the process of learning an intellectual skill, the ability to solve problems efficiently in a particular domain of discourse. The investigation is synthetic; a computational performance model, HACKER, is displayed. Hacker is a computer…

The main advantage of a recurrent architecture is the ability to store information from prior system states. A recurrent fuzzy controller includes hidden fuzzy variables which makes the controller more appropriate to deal with dynamic systems. We are currently investigating…

In todays world where nearly every company is dependent on the Internet to survive, it is not surprising that the role of intrusion detection has become extremely important within the last decade. Intrusion detection involves determining whether some entity has…

This report describes a computer system that creates simple computer animation in response to high-level, vague, and incomplete descriptions of films. It makes its films by collecting and evaluating suggestions from several different bodies of knowledge. The order in which…
