Public enthusiasm for new advances is a key ingredient in influencing policy-makers to stimulate follow-up work with suitable funding, and it can be achieved far faster now that interested non-specialists can explore new research autonomously and can also be appealed to directly by scientists.
It wasn't easy to create that material, but we started to find this fantastic language, with the body always exploring, almost autonomously.
A robotic system is presented, which is able to autonomously explore unengineered indoor environments, thereby synthesising maps suitable for planning and navigation purposes.
The objective of the robot is to autonomously explore and learn about an environment, to detect changes in the environment on a later visit after object disturbances and finally, to move objects back to their original positions.
For LBRP-MA, mobile agents explore route by migrating autonomously.
Mobile agents migrate autonomously to explore the path connecting source and destination, to gather inter-satellite link (ISL) cost, identifier and latitude of visited satellites.
"Mario will collect coins if he is hungry, whereas when he is curious, he will explore his environment and autonomously gather knowledge about items he does not know much about yet," explains the narrator.
By autonomously exploring different feature values on different objects, the systems learn where to grasp each of the objects.
Once Aibo's up and running (well, walking), he roams around autonomously, exploring the space, barking for attention.
Again, along the same lines, the underlying topology of data sources could be autonomously explored, allowing clustering algorithms to be applied over different configurations of both time and space.
The goal of this project is to control robotic sensor networks so that they can autonomously and reliably explore and build maps of unknown and uncertain environments.
