1. Learning Object Properties From Manipulation for Manipulation
Sammanfattning : The world contains objects with various properties - rigid, granular, liquid, elastic or plastic. As humans, while interacting with the objects, we plan our manipulation by considering their properties. For instance, while holding a rigid object such as a brick, we adapt our grasp based on its centre of mass not to drop it. LÄS MER
2. Kripke on Necessity : A Metaphysical Investigation
Sammanfattning : I undertake a metaphysical investigation of Saul Kripke's modern classic, Naming and Necessity (1980).

My approach is meant to disclose the logical and ontological principles underlying Kripke's arguments for the necessary a posteriori and the contingent a priori respectively. LÄS MER
3. Ground Object Recognition using Laser Radar Data : Geometric Fitting, Performance Analysis, and Applications
Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns detection and recognition of ground object using data from laser radar systems. Typical ground objects are vehicles and land mines. For these objects, the orientation and articulation are unknown. The objects are placed in natural or urban areas where the background is unstructured and complex. LÄS MER

5. Material perception and action : The role of material properties in object handling
Sammanfattning : This dissertation is about visual perception of material properties and their role in preparation for object handling. Usually before an object is touched or picked-up we estimate its size and shape based on visual features to plan the grip size of our hand. LÄS MER
