A Mathematical Characterization of Minimally Sufficient Robot Brains
Basak Sakcak, Kalle G. Timperi, Vadim Weinstein +1
This paper addresses the lower limits of encoding and processing the information acquired through interactions between an internal system (robot algorithms or software) and an exte…
The Limits of Learning and Planning: Minimal Sufficient Information Transition Systems
Basak Sakcak, Vadim Weinstein, Steven M. LaValle
In this paper, we view a policy or plan as a transition system over a space of information states that reflect a robot's or other observer's perspective based on limited sensing, m…
Unwinding Rotations Improves User Comfort with Immersive Telepresence Robots
Markku Suomalainen, Basak Sakcak, Adhi Widagdo +5
We propose unwinding the rotations experienced by the user of an immersive telepresence robot to improve comfort and reduce VR sickness of the user. By immersive telepresence we re…
Analysis of User Preferences for Robot Motions in Immersive Telepresence
Katherine J. Mimnaugh, Markku Suomalainen, Israel Becerra +3
This paper considers how the motions of a telepresence robot moving autonomously affect a person immersed in the robot through a head-mounted display. In particular, we explore the…
Defining Preferred and Natural Robot Motions in Immersive Telepresence from a First-Person Perspective
Katherine J. Mimnaugh, Markku Suomalainen, Israel Becerra +3
This paper presents some early work and future plans regarding how the autonomous motions of a telepresence robot affect a person embodied in the robot through a head-mounted displ…
Information Requirements of Collision-Based Micromanipulation
Alexandra Q. Nilles, Ana Pervan, Thomas A. Berrueta +2
We present a task-centered formal analysis of the relative power of several robot designs, inspired by the unique properties and constraints of micro-scale robotic systems. Our tas…
