Title Autonomous Observation
Date 1992
Description We address the problem of observing an agent. We advocate a modeling approach for the visual system and its observer, where a discrete event dynamic system (DEDS) framework is developed and "events" are defined as ranges on parameter subsets. The dynamic recursive context for finite state machines (DRFSM) is described with some applications in the inspection and reverse engineering domain. We propose a system for observing a manipulation process, where a robot hand manipulates an object. We recognize the hand/object interaction over time and a stabilizing observer is constructed. Low-level modules are developed for recognizing the events that causes state transitions within the dynamic manipulation system. The work examines closely the possibilities for errors, mistakes and uncertainties in the manipulation system, observer construction process and event identification mechanisms. The DRFSM DEDS systems utilizes different tracking techniques in order to observe and recognize tasks and agents in an active, adaptive and goal-directed manner.
