Working memory and Perception (2005)
D. M. Wilkes, M. Tugcu, J. E. Hunter, D. Noelle
Abstract – The ability to teach a robot new skills and tasks without explicit programming is an important goal in robotics. Such capability tends to imply the ability to learn from experience, much...
Sonar Behavior-based Fuzzy Control for a Mobile Robot (2000)
S. Thongchai, S. Suksakulchai, D. M. Wilkes, N. Sarkar
This paper describes how fuzzy control can be applied to a sonar-based mobile robot. Behavior-based fuzzy control for HelpMate behaviors was designed using sonar sensors. The fuzzy controller...
Mobile robot localization using an electronic compass for corridor environment (2000)
S. Suksakulchai, S. Thongchai, D. M. Wilkes, K. Kawamura
This paper proposes a simple method for localization using an electronic compass. Electronic compasses are often used to detect the heading of mobile robots. However, electronic compasses have one...
