TLDR
In this paper a new distributed architecture, named "Distributed Architecture for Intelligent SYstem" (DAISY), is proposed, based on the concept of co-operating behavioral agents supervised by a "Central Engagement Module".Abstract:
Distributed perceptual systems are endowed with different kind of sensors, from which information flows to suitable modules to perform useful elaborations for decisions making. In this paper a new distributed architecture, named "Distributed Architecture for Intelligent SYstem" (DAISY), is proposed. It is based on the concept of co-operating behavioral agents supervised by a "Central Engagement Module". This module integrates the processing of data coming from the behavioral agents with a symbolic level of representation, by the introduction of a "conceptual space" intermediate analogue representation. The DAISY project is under development; experiments on navigation and exploration for an autonomous robot are done to evaluate its performance.read more

A Cooperating Strategy for Objects Recognition
TL;DR: The proposed object recognition system, based on the co-operation of several visual modules (early vision, object detector, and object recognizer), has shown good performance especially in case of complex scene analysis, and has been included in the visual system of the DAISY robotics system.

Snakes : Active Contour Models
TL;DR: This work uses snakes for interactive interpretation, in which user-imposed constraint forces guide the snake near features of interest, and uses scale-space continuation to enlarge the capture region surrounding a feature.

Use of the Hough transformation to detect lines and curves in pictures

TL;DR: It is pointed out that the use of angle-radius rather than slope-intercept parameters simplifies the computation further, and how the method can be used for more general curve fitting.

Learning and executing generalized robot plans
TL;DR: Some major new additions to the STRIPS robot problem-solving system are described, including a process for generalizing a plan produced by STriPS so that problem-specific constants appearing in the plan are replaced by problem-independent parameters.
