Actas do Encontro Científico 3º Festival Nacional de Robótica- ROBOTICA2003 Lisboa, 9 de Maio de 2003. ROBOT FORMATIONS GENERATED BY NON-LINEAR ATTRACTOR DYNAMICS

by Sergio Monteiro, Estela Bicho
"... Abstract: One underlying and fundamental issue in multi-robot systems is the control and coordination of several robots such that they keep a particular formation during movement. In this paper we focus on modelling formation of non-holonomic mobile robots using non-linear attractor dynamics. The be ..."

Expressive speech for a virtual talking head

by Xingyan Li, Catherine I. Watson, Ar Igic, Bruce Macdonald
"... This paper presents our work on building an expressive facial speech synthesis system Eface, which can be used on a social or service robot. Eface aims at enabling a robot to deliver information clearly with empathetic speech and an expressive virtual face. The system is built on two open source sof ..."
