Perhaps surprisingly, we feel this representation has a lot to do with the cognitive organization of development and dexterous behavior in biological systems as well.<\/p>\n<p>This talk introduces the control basis and creates a computational account of developmental processes that can be used to help robots write programs for themselves and other robots. I will demonstrate some of the ideas using examples of control programs for distributed sensor systems, dexterous manipulators, and mobile manipulators. I will conclude by anticipating how such systems and programming paradigms can be used to construct robot systems for healthcare in residential settings with examples we have constructed at UMass.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .asset-content --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Laboratory for Perceptual Robotics at UMass Amherst is studying how sensors and effectors can be recruited into working robot systems using an idea we call the &#8220;control basis.&#8221; This framework provides a convenient representation for combining distributed resources into integrated machines that can dissociate once their task is completed.
