AbstractWe recently introduced a computationally efficient framework for tracking formants which combines a biologically inspired preprocessing for enhancing formants in spectrograms with a probabilistic framework for estimating formant trajectories. In contrast to previously published approaches our tracking scheme relies on the joint distribution of formants rather than using independent tracking instances for each formant separately. Therewith more pr...

AbstractAutonomous systems, i.e., intelligent vehicles and robots use machine learning techniques to classify or recognise the identity of an object. The object identification aids them to make intelligent decisions in different situations. Research on classification techniques shows that classification techniques are not always accurate and reliable. In this thesis we apply a newly proposed concept termed ”cross-module learning” for cognitive system des...

AbstractGenerating a fluent motion of approaching, grasping and lifting an object comprises a number of problems which are typically tackled separately. Some existing research specializes on the optimization of the final grasp posture based on force closure criteria neglecting the motion necessary to approach this grasp. Other research specializes on motion optimization including collision avoidance criteria, but typically not considering the subsequent ...

AbstractWe introduce our latest autonomous learning and interaction system instance ALIS 2. It comprises different sensing modalities for visual (depth blobs, planar surfaces, motion) and auditory (speech, localization) signals and self-collision free behavior generation on the robot ASIMO. The system design emphasizes the split into a completely autonomous reactive layer and an expectation generation layer. Different feature channels can be classied and...

AbstractIn this paper we review our research aiming at creating a cognitive humanoid. We describe our understanding of the core elements of a processing architecture for such kind of an artifact. After these conceptual considerations we present our research results on the form of the series of elements and systems that have been researched and created....
