  • Eye Juggling: a Methodology for Interpreting Stories
    Eye Juggling: A Methodology for Interpreting Stories Eye Juggling Outline With modifications and additions, as an excerpt from: Rodney Frey. 1995. Eye Juggling: Seeing the World Through a Looking Glass and a Glass Pane. University Press of America: London, and other sources. The Eye Juggler There is an old man, with long, black braids. He stands there, beside that tall cedar tree, singing a song. As he sings that song, what should happen..., his eyes pop out of his head. He continues singing that song and his eyes go up the side of the tree to the top branch. There those eyes look to the east. Then they turn and look to the south. The old man with empty sockets in his head continues that song. From the top of the tree the eyes look to the west. And then the eyes turn once more and look to the north, the fourth direction. As the old man with long, black braids sings that song, who should come along the path there but Coyote, down on his luck. He sees the old man standing there and decides to pay him a visit. He's been out there in those hills a long time. But as Coyote gets a little closer he realizes that there is something odd about this old man. He's seen some strange things out there in those hills but nothing like this. The old man is singing his eyes to the sky! Now Coyote, who's been down on his luck, realizes a good thing when he sees it.

Una delle azioni che i robot umanoidi devono poter eseguire `ela manipolazione di cose (avvicinare le braccia agli oggetti, afferrarli e spostarli). Tuttavia, per poter fare ci`oun robot deve prima di tutto possedere della conoscenza sull'oggetto da manipolare e sulla sua posizione nello spazio. Questo aspetto si pu`orealizzare con un approccio percettivo. Il sistema sviluppato in questo lavoro di tesi `ebasato sul tracker visuale CAMSHIFT e su una tecnica di ricostruzione 3D che fornisce informazioni su posizione e orientamento di un oggetto generico (senza modelli geometrici) che si muove nel campo visivo di una piattaforma robotica umanoide.

Una volta calcolata la posizione corrente di un oggetto situato di fronte al robot, `epossibile realizzare il reaching (avvicinamento del braccio all'oggetto). In questa tesi vengono discussi esperimenti ottenuti col braccio robotico della piattaforma di sviluppo adottata. ii Abstract Humanoid robotics in general, and human{robot interaction in particular, is gaining new, extensive fields of application, as it gradually becomes pervasive in our daily life.

He imagined it looked like haole blood. But it wasn't his or anyone else's. He'd struggled all his life to avoid being labeled a haole. He knew everybody's blood was the same color, though it looked like it could've been spilled from a white man's veins. But the machine didn't bleed, it leaked. Taylor squinted up at the greasy stainless-steel mast of the stand-up fork lift. His forearm shielded his eyes from the drips but blocked his vision, and he brushed the graying blonde strands off his forehead. A tightly banded braid kept his shoulder-length hair from sticking in his moustache and beard like velcro. He rolled his tight neck muscles, shrugged his husky shoulders and stepped out of the machine to get away from the harsh glare of the big halogen light. He figured it must be that hose clamp again.
