We have successfully used nulling interferometry at 10 m wavelength to interferometrically suppress a star's radiation. This technique was first proposed by Bracewell 20 years ago to image...
Multi-Modal Human-Machine Communication for Instructing Robot Grasping Tasks (2005)
McGuire, P. C., Fritsch, J., Steil, J. J., Roethling, F., Fink, G. A., Wachsmuth, S., ...
A major challenge for the realization of intelligent robots is to supply them with cognitive abilities in order to allow ordinary users to program them easily and intuitively. One way of such...
Neural Architectures for Robot Intelligence (2004)
Ritter, H., Steil, J. J., Noelker, C., Roethling, F., McGuire, P. C.
We argue that the direct experimental approaches to elucidate the architecture of higher brains may benefit from insights gained from exploring the possibilities and limits of artificial control...
Liu, W. M., Hinz, P. M., Hoffmann, W. F., Brusa, G., Wildi, F., Miller, D., ...
We present the results of mid-infrared nulling interferometric observations of the main-sequence star alpha Lyr (Vega) using the 6.5 m MMT with its adaptive secondary mirror. From the observations at...
A Near-Infrared Wide-Field Proper Motion Search for Brown Dwarfs (2002)
Hinz, J. L., McCarthy, D. W., Simons, D. A., Henry, T. J., Kirkpatrick, J. D., McGuire, P. C.
A common proper motion survey of M dwarf stars within 8 pc of the Sun reveals no new stellar or brown dwarf companions at wide separations (~100-1400 AU). This survey tests whether the brown dwarf...
Laboratory adaptive optics system for testing the wave front sensor for the new MMT (1999)
T. A. Rhoadarmer, P. C. McGuire, J. M. Hughes, M. Lloyd-Hart, S. Schaller, ...
A laboratory adaptive optics system has been built for testing the wave front sensor hardware and software for the new Multiple Mirror Telescope adaptive optics system. The system also allows...
