This paper presents a hybrid robot cognitive architecture, CRAM, that enables robot agents
to accomplish everyday manipulation tasks. It addresses five key challenges that arise when …

Visual robot perception has been challenging to successful robot manipulation in noisy,
cluttered and dynamic environments. While some perception systems fail to provide an …

The operational environments of engineering systems are becoming increasingly complex
and require automatic control systems to be more intelligent. Cognitive control extends the …

Many of today's robot perception systems aim at accomplishing perception tasks that are too
simplistic and too hard. They are too simplistic because they do not require the perception …

A key capability required by service robots operating in real-world, dynamic environments is
that of Visual Intelligence, ie, the ability to use their vision system, reasoning components …

A pressing question when designing intelligent autonomous systems is how to integrate the
various subsystems concerned with complementary tasks. More specifically, robotic vision …

Understanding the environment is an essential capability for mobile service robots to
achieve autonomy. While this has proven to be a very challenging task, researchers have …

Visual robot perception has been challenging to successful robot manipulation in noisy,
cluttered and dynamic environments. While some perception systems fail to provide an …

Robots can take over many tasks that are unsafe or inconvenient for us to carry out. To assist
us effectively, service robots are expected to make sense of fast-changing, real-world …

As robots begin to enter our daily lives, we need advanced knowledge representations and
associated reasoning capabilities to enable them to understand and model their …
