P. M. Hinz, W. F. Hoffmann, P. C. Mcguire, M. Cheselka, J. L. Hora

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...
