    abstract="Autonomous navigation is a key skill for assistive and service robots. To be successful, robots have to comply with social rules, such as avoiding the personal spaces of the people surrounding them, or not getting in the way of human-to-human and human-to-object interactions. This paper suggests using Graph Neural Networks to model how inconvenient the presence of a robot would be in a particular scenario according to learned human conventions so that it can be used by path planning algorithms. To do so, we propose two automated scenario-to-graph transformations and benchmark them with different Graph Neural Networks using the SocNav1 dataset [1]. We achieve close-to-human performance in the dataset and argue that, in addition to its promising results, the main advantage of the approach is its scalability in terms of the number of social factors that can be considered and easily embedded in code in comparison with model-based approaches. The code used to train and test the resulting graph neural network is available in a public repository.",

This is especially important for robots that interact with people in household, eldercare or industrial collaborative scenarios. We have proposed in earlier works an RCA called CORTEX designed for social robots operating in HRI environments. One of CORTEX's main elements is a working memory designed as a graph-like data structure that is accessed by all the computational modules in charge of some relevant function in the system. Our current implementation is based on the concept of a real-time database, where one of the modules stores, receives and publishes changes to all modules. In this paper, we propose a new design of this element based on the Conflict-free Distributed Replicated Data Types (CRDT) theory of distributed data types. The new working memory presents important advantages over existing designs that are demonstrated with several experiments.",

It stands out in the Spanish Modern Movement usually for its aesthetic or plastic qualities, but there are key aspects in its design that could relate it to sustainability. This has not prevented it from being affected by issues such as the threat of depopulation or adaptation to current needs in balance with heritage. Knowing completely the problems of Vegaviana, especially from the point of view of citizens and the different agents involved, becomes a fundamental preliminary step to generate intervention proposals. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to establish a qualitative and participatory framework that completes another quantitative and technicalal ready generated previously through sustainability indicators. The InPar tool of the Paisaje Transversal platform becomes the basic basis of this research.},

However, at its inception, it was unfailingly linked to the parallel construction of unique buildings that remain as symbols of a forgotten past: the tobacco barns. The idea of this paper arises from the lack of knowledge of this pre-industrial buildings. These disused buildings, due to the crops transformation and European policies, become archaeological elements of the landscape in these regions. Therefore, the objectives are to highlight the importance of these constructions as cultural heritage and propose their consideration as a landscape of tourist interest. To carry out the study, we conducted a bib- liographic review that contextualizes and dates this industrial-agrarian architecture/archaeology. In conclusion, interest of heritage protection is generated by the consolidation of a sustainable industrial landscape tourism in an area devoid of this type of cultural route.},

The current state of knowledge leads some scholars to consider it a religious building, because of its nave structure and a series of paintings with religious motifs. The research summarized in this article: 1.-Has been done following an architectural methodology, gathering known data and making an architectural survey of the building structure which includes the geometry of the ruins and the study of the materials and construction system, as well as a location analysis. 2.- Demonstrates that the sturdy structure of the building ruins corresponds in reality to a water supply cistern, located on a historic road of Caceres' road network and in the vicinity of the medieval tower of Los Mogollones.},

    ABSTRACT = {The advances of the Internet of Things, robotics, and Artificial Intelligence, to give just a few examples, allow us to imagine promising results in the development of smart buildings in the near future. In the particular case of elderly care, there are new solutions that integrate systems that monitor variables associated with the health of each user or systems that facilitate physical or cognitive rehabilitation. In all these solutions, it is clear that these new environments, usually called Ambient Assisted Living (AAL), configure a Cyber-Physical System (CPS) that connects information from the physical world to the cyber-world with the primary objective of adding more intelligence to these environments. This article presents a CPS-AAL for caregiving centers, with the main novelty that includes a Socially Assistive Robot (SAR). The CPS-AAL presented in this work uses a digital twin world with the information acquired by all devices. The basis of this digital twin world is the CORTEX cognitive architecture, a set of software agents interacting through a Deep State Representation (DSR) that stored the shared information between them. The proposal is evaluated in a simulated environment with two use cases requiring interaction between the sensors and the SAR in a simulated caregiving center.},

    abstract = "CORTEX is a cognitive robotics architecture inspired by three key ideas: modularity, internal modelling and graph representations. CORTEX is also a computational framework designed to support early forms of intelligence in real world, human interacting robots, by selecting an a priori functional decomposition of the capabilities of the robot. This set of abilities was then translated to computational modules or agents, each one built as a network of software interconnected components. The nature of these agents can range from pure reactive modules connected to sensors and/or actuators, to pure deliberative ones, but they can only communicate with each other through a graph structure called Deep State Representation (DSR). DSR is a short-term dynamic representation of the space surrounding the robot, the objects and the humans in it, and the robot itself. All these entities are perceived and transformed into different levels of abstraction, ranging from geometric data to high-level symbolic relations such as “the person is talking and gazing at me”. The combination of symbolic and geometric information endows the architecture with the potential to simulate and anticipate the outcome of the actions executed by the robot. In this paper we present recent advances in the CORTEX architecture and several real-world human-robot interaction scenarios in which they have been tested. We describe our interpretation of the ideas inspiring the architecture and the reasons why this specific computational framework is a promising architecture for the social robots of tomorrow.",

    abstract = {Indoor radon is a major health concern as it is a known carcinogenic. Nowadays there is a trend towards a greater energy conservation in buildings, which is reflected in an increasing number of regulations. But, can this trend increase the indoor radon concentration? In this paper, we selected a radon prone area in Spain and focused on single-family dwellings constructed in a variety of architectural styles. These styles ranged from 1729 up to 2014, with varying construction techniques (from local resources to almost universally standard building materials) and regulations in force (from none to the Spanish regulation in force). The226Ra concentrations in soil and surface radon exhalation rates were rather similar in this area, mean values ranging 70–126 Bq/kg and 49–100 mBq/m2{\textperiodcentered}s, respectively. Indoor radon concentration was generally greater than the contribution from soil exhalation (surface exhalation rates), especially in New dwellings (1980–2014). Its concentration in dwellings built in the Traditional style (1729–1940) was significantly lower than in the new houses. This can be consequence of the air tightness of the dwellings as a consequence of the different regulations in force. In the period covered by the Traditional style, there was no regulation in force, and dwelling had loose air tight. Whereas in recent times, there are mandatory regulations assuring a better air tightness of the buildings. Refurbishment of Traditional dwellings also seems to increase the indoor radon concentration, as they must also comply with the regulations in force.},

    abstract = {This paper introduces the problem of the abandonment of historical housing located in city centres. These constructions are usually excluded from the cultural heritage conservation processes, and therefore a large quantity of them is currently unlivable, and because of this there is an urgent need to propose solutions. However, the extent of the existing building stock and the additional difficulty of protecting its patrimonial value requires an accurate analysis. This work makes a contribution to the definition of historical housing areas by cataloguing the different dwellings, hence it underlines the need to define building typologies in order to simplify the multiparametric analysis and identify the main vernacular characteristics on such a wide scale. This definition of typology may include all the parameters which value and characterize a historic house through an approach which combines a territorial, urban, architectural, and construction perspective. Likewise, data processing will enable the selection and definition of building typology. The methodology proposed serves as a policy guideline for analysis of buildings in historical centres, prioritising the preservation of the cultural heritage value and the recovery of the historic use of urban space. This method has been tested in a previous case study of the Jerte Valley (Valle del Jerte), located in The Central System, Spanish and Portuguese: Sistema Central. This study approaches the analysis of a vernacular housing stock of three thousand dwellings by: first, taking into account the complexity of the historical area analysing the territory, landscape, architecture and urban variables; then, by selecting the representative building typologies; and, finally, by defining information sheets. The culture heritage of the Valley, based on adequate information, will be protected.},

    abstract = {Attention mechanisms play a central role in NLP systems, especially within recurrent neural network (RNN) models. Recently, there has been increasing interest in whether or not the intermediate representations offered by these modules may be used to explain the reasoning for a model's prediction, and consequently reach insights regarding the model's decision-making process. A recent paper claims that 'Attention is not Explanation' (Jain and Wallace, 2019). We challenge many of the assumptions underlying this work, arguing that such a claim depends on one's definition of explanation, and that testing it needs to take into account all elements of the model. We propose four alternative tests to determine when/whether attention can be used as explanation: a simple uniform-weights baseline; a variance calibration based on multiple random seed runs; a diagnostic framework using frozen weights from pretrained models; and an end-to-end adversarial attention training protocol. Each allows for meaningful interpretation of attention mechanisms in RNN models. We show that even when reliable adversarial distributions can be found, they don't perform well on the simple diagnostic, indicating that prior work does not disprove the usefulness of attention mechanisms for explainability.},

    abstract="This paper presents a method to reduce the time spent by a robot with cognitive abilities when looking for objects in unknown locations. It describes how machine learning techniques can be used to decide which places should be inspected first, based on images that the robot acquires passively. The proposal is composed of two concurrent processes. The first one uses the aforementioned images to generate a description of the types of objects found in each object container seen by the robot. This is done passively, regardless of the task being performed. The containers can be tables, boxes, shelves or any other kind of container of known shape whose contents can be seen from a distance. The second process uses the previously computed estimation of the contents of the containers to decide which is the most likely container having the object to be found. This second process is deliberative and takes place only when the robot needs to find an object, whether because it is explicitly asked to locate one or because it is needed as a step to fulfil the mission of the robot. Upon failure to guess the right container, the robot can continue making guesses until the object is found. Guesses are made based on the semantic distance between the object to find and the description of the types of the objects found in each object container. The paper provides quantitative results comparing the efficiency of the proposed method and two base approaches.",

    abstract="Obtaining good quality image features is of remarkable importance for most computer vision tasks. It has been demonstrated that the first layers of the human visual cortex are devoted to feature detection. The need for these features has made line, segment, and corner detection one of the most studied topics in computer vision. HT3D is a recent variant of the Hough transform for the combined detection of corners and line segments in images. It uses a 3D parameter space that enables the detection of segments instead of whole lines. This space also encloses canonical configurations of image corners, transforming corner detection into a pattern search
    problem. Spiking neural networks have previously been proposed for multiple image processing tasks, including corner and line detection using the Hough transform. Following these ideas, this paper presents and describes in detail a model to implement HT3D as a Spiking Neural Network for corner detection. The results obtained from a thorough testing of its implementation using real images evince the correctness of the Spiking Neural Network HT3D implementation. Such results are comparable to those obtained with the regular HT3D implementation, which are turn superior to other corner detection algorithms."

    abstract = "Social navigation is a topic with enormous interest in autonomous robotics. Robots are gradually being used in human environments, working individually or collaborating with humans in their daily tasks. Robots in these scenarios have to be able to behave in a socially acceptable way and, for this reason, the way in which robots move has to adapt to humans and context. Proxemics has been extensively studied with the aim of improving social navigation. However, these works do not take into account that, in several situations, the personal space of the humans depends on the context (\textit{e.g.}, this human space is not the same in a narrow corridor than in a wide room). This work proposes the definition of an adaptive and flexible space density function that allows, on the one hand, to describe the comfort space of individuals during an interaction and, on the other hand, dynamically adapt its value in terms of the space that surrounds this interaction. In order to validate the performance, this article describes a set of simulated experiments where the robustness and improvements of the approach are tested in different environments.",

    abstract = {The submarine exploration using robots has been increasing in recent years. The automation of tasks such as monitoring, inspection, and underwater maintenance requires the understanding of the robot’s environment. The object recognition in the scene is becoming a critical issue for these systems. On this work, an underwater object classification pipeline applied in acoustic images acquired by Forward-Looking Sonar (FLS) are studied. The object segmentation combines thresholding, connected pixels searching and peak of intensity analyzing techniques. The object descriptor extract intensity and geometric features of the detected objects. A comparison between the Support Vector Machine, K-Nearest Neighbors, and Random Trees classifiers are presented. An open-source tool was developed to annotate and classify the objects and evaluate their classification performance. The proposed method efficiently segments and classifies the structures in the scene using a real dataset acquired by an underwater vehicle in a harbor area. Experimental results demonstrate the robustness and accuracy of the method described in this paper.},

The understanding of the underwater environments and the object recognition are required features that are becoming a critical issue for these systems.

This novel system is independent of the water turbidity and uses acoustic images acquired by Forward-Looking Sonar (FLS). The proposed method efficiently segments and classifies the structures in the scene using geometric information of the recognized objects. Therefore, a semantic map of the scene is created, which allows the robot to describe its environment according to high-level semantic features.

While traditional robot navigation algorithms treat all sensor readings, including humans, as objects to be avoided, now it is important to provide robots with the capability to behave in a socially acceptable manner. This work presents a new strategy for social robot navigation based on an adaptive spatial density function to efficiently cluster groups of people according to its pattern of arrangement. The proposed function defines regions where navigation is either discouraged or forbidden. The navigation architecture combines the Probabilistic Road Map and the Rapidly-exploring Random Tree path planners and an adaptation of the elastic band algorithm to include the social behaviour. Numerous trials in real and simulated environments were carried out, which demonstrate the performance of the clustering algorithm and the social navigation architecture.},

Therefore, a research topic of great importance recently has been the study of Human-Robot Interaction. Autonomous navigation is a fundamental task in Robotics, and several different strategies that produce paths that are either length or time optimized can be found in the literature. However, considering the recent use of mobile robots in a more social context, the use of such classical techniques is restricted. Therefore, in this article we present a social navigation approach considering environments with groups of people. The proposal uses a density function to efficiently represent groups of people, and modify the navigation architecture in order to include the social behaviour of the robot during its motion. This architecture is based on the combined use of the Probabilistic Road Mapping (PRM) and the Rapidlyexploring Random Tree (RRT) path planners and an adaptation of the elastic band algorithm. Experimental evaluation was carried out in different simulated environments, providing insight on the performance of the proposed technique, which surpasses classical techniques with no proxemics awareness in terms of social impact.},

    abstract = {Vernacular architecture is closely and traditionally linked to energy efficiency due to its adaptation to climate and location. The main purpose of this paper is to diagnose the hygrothermal behaviour inside the vernacular housings of the Jerte Valley (Valle del Jerte), located in the Spanish Central System mountain range (Sistema Central). This region is widely characterised by a Mediterranean continental mountain climate with medium-sized mountains and presents two distinguished six-month periods: one is warm and dry, whereas the other is cold and rainy. The objective of the aforementioned diagnosis is to promote the preservation of buildings and its energy refurbishment. As a starting point, a study that associates the region's monthly climate data with the thermal comfort has been developed. Afterwards, a regional building type has been defined for further use by an energy simulation program in order to measure the hygrothermal behaviour of the envelope. Finally, these results have been related both to thermal comfort and bioclimatic strategies. The results suggest that, during the warm period, indoor conditions are comfortable without the need for an additional energy supply. Nevertheless, in the cold period, indoor conditions are warmer than outdoor conditions, but an additional external energy supply will be required to achieve the comfort zone. Accordingly, it is determined that the refurbishment solutions used for those constructions must maintain intact the bioclimatic strategies that benefit summer conditions. However, strategies that give rise to winter conditions without changing its summer behaviour must be improved.},

Additionally, energy efficiency studies are essential in every case to guarantee sustainability. In these situations, a simulation process will be a suitable approach to obtaining results. However, historic dwellings are complicated to simulate. They require a comprehensive study of traditional crafts and techniques as well as of ancient constructions which rely heavily on local builders' design skills and traditions as well as on the regional materials and architectural knowledge. Furthermore, the intricate geometries and the large number of different dwelling cases demand a amplification and a typological definition of representative buildings. In addition, in an energy simulation process, it is indispensable to know what the lifestyle was. In a traditional dwelling, the ancient customs have to be taken into account, studying the occupation, metabolism, activities, and traditional clothing in order to define a reliable computer model. Moreover, an operation usage program has to be defined in order to set other building simulation parameters such as the ventilation, shading, and internal gains. The present work proposes a method using DesignBuilder, an EnergyPlus software package, to generate a model for the energy simulation of historic dwellings through a case study of an historic dwelling stock in the Sistema Central of Spain. How the type was generated from a real case with an architectonic, constructive, and activity definition is described. Guidelines are provided for modeling the building and for setting the simulation parameters necessary to obtain correct results.},

    abstract = {Robots require a close coupling of perception and action. Cognitive robots go beyond this to require a further coupling with cognition. From the perspective of robotics, this coupling generally emphasizes a tightly integrated perceptuomo- tor system, which is then loosely connected to some limited form of cognitive system such as a planner. At the other end, from the perspective of automated planning, the emphasis is on a highly functional system that, taken to its extreme, calls perceptual and motor modules as independent functions. This paper proposes to join both perspectives through a unique representation where the responses of all modules on the software architecture (percepts or actions) are grounded using the same set of symbols. This allows to generalize the signal-to-symbol divide that separates classic perceptuomotor and automated planning systems, being the result a software architecture where all software modules interact using the same tokens.},

    abstract = {Path planning is one of the basic and widely studied problems in robotics navigation, being its aim to determine the path from one coordinate location to another along a set of way- points. Traditionally, this problem has been addressed using the geometric world, that is, 2D or 3D coordinates from a geometric map. New generation of robots should be able to plan this path also taking into account social conventions, which is commonly called social navigation. This paper describes the ongoing work of a new proposal for the path planning problem where the semantic knowledge of the robot surrounding and different social rules are used to determine the best route from the robot to the target poses. In this work, a specific type of semantic map is described, which integrates both, geometrical information and semantic knowledge. The proposal uses CORTEX, an agent-based Robotics Cognitive Architecture which provides a set of different agents in the deliberative-reactive spectrum. The proposal is going to be tested in two different social robots within the NAVLOC project 1},

    abstract = {{\textcopyright} Springer International Publishing AG 2016.Collaboration is an essential feature of human social interaction. Briefly, when two or more people agree on a common goal and a joint intention to reach that goal, they have to coordinate their actions to engage in joint actions, planning their courses of actions according to the actions of the other partners. The same holds for teams where the partners are people and robots, resulting on a collection of technical questions difficult to answer. Human-robot collaboration requires the robot to coordinate its behavior to the behaviors of the humans at different levels, e.g., the semantic level, the level of the content and behavior selection in the interaction, and low-level aspects such as the temporal dynamics of the interaction. This forces the robot to internalize information about the motions, actions and intentions of the rest of partners, and about the state of the environment. Furthermore, collaborative robots should select their actions taking into account additional human-aware factors such as safety, reliability and comfort. Current cognitive systems are usually limited in this respect as they lack the rich dynamic representations and the flexible human-aware planning capabilities needed to succeed in tomorrow human-robot collaboration tasks. Within this paper, we provide a tool for addressing this problem by using the notion of deep hybrid representations and the facilities that this common state representation offers for the tight coupling of planners on different layers of abstraction. Deep hybrid representations encode the robot and environment state, but also a robot-centric perspective of the partners taking part in the joint activity.},

    abstract = {{\textcopyright} Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016.Enabling autonomous mobile manipulators to collaborate with people is a challenging research field with a wide range of applications. Collaboration means working with a partner to reach a common goal and it involves performing both, individual and joint actions, with her. Human-robot collaboration requires, at least, two conditions to be efficient: a) a common plan, usually under-defined, for all involved partners; and b) for each partner, the capability to infer the intentions of the other in order to coordinate the common behavior. This is a hard problem for robotics since people can change their minds on their envisaged goal or interrupt a task without delivering legible reasons. Also, collaborative robots should select their actions taking into account human-aware factors such as safety, reliability and comfort. Current robotic cognitive systems are usually limited in this respect as they lack the rich dynamic representations and the flexible human-aware planning capabilities needed to succeed in these collaboration tasks. In this paper, we address this problem by proposing and discussing a deep hybrid representation, DSR, which will be geometrically ordered at several layers of abstraction (deep) and will merge symbolic and geometric information (hybrid). This representation is part of a new agents-based robotics cognitive architecture called CORTEX. The agents that form part of CORTEX are in charge of high-level functionalities, reactive and deliberative, and share this representation among them. They keep it synchronized with the real world through sensor readings, and coherent with the internal domain knowledge by validating each update.},

Both activities have to be connected across different space and time scales in order to obtain a smooth and responsive system that follows the path and adapts to the unforeseen situations imposed by the real world. There is not a clear consensus in how to do this and some important problems are still open. In this paper we present the first steps towards a new navigation agent controlling both the robot?s base and the arm. We address several of theses problems in the design of this agent, including robust localization integrating several information sources, incremental learning of free navigation and manipulation space, hand visual servoing in camera space to reduce backslash and calibration errors, and internal path representation as an elastic band that is projected to the real world through measurements of the sensors. A set of experiments are presented with the robot Ursus in real and simulated scenarios showing some encouraging results.},

This new application domain has become a key research topic in the robotics community. Therefore, new robots are designed to interact with people in these domains, using natural and intuitive channels. Visual perception and speech processing have to be considered for these robots, as they should be able to detect people in their environment, recognize their degree of accessibility and engage them in social conversations. They also need to safely navigate around dynamic, uncontrolled environments. They must be equipped with planning and learning components, that allow them to adapt to different scenarios. Finally, they must attract the attention of the people, be kind and safe to interact with. In this paper, we describe our experience with Gualzru, a salesman robot endowed with the cognitive architecture RoboCog. This architecture synchronizes all previous processes in a social robot, using a common inner representation as the core of the system. The robot has been tested in crowded, public daily life environments, where it interacted with people that had never seen it before nor had a clue about its functionality. Experimental results presented in this paper demonstrate the capabilities of the robot and its limitations in these real scenarios, and define future improvement actions.},

To achieve the tasks that they might be assigned, the robots must be able to autonomously model and interact with the elements in it. Even in homes, which are usually more predictable than outdoor scenarios, robot perception is an extremely challenging task. Clutter, distance and partial views complicate modelling the environment, making it essential for robots to approach the objects to perceive in order to gain favourable points of view. This article proposes a novel grammar-based distributed architecture, designed with reusability and scalability in mind, which enables robots not only to find and execute the perception-aware plans they need to achieve their goals, but also to verify that the world representation they build is valid according to a set of grammatical rules for the world model. Additionally, it describes a real-world example of use, providing qualitative results, in which a robot successfully models the room in which it is located and finds a coffee mug.},

The patient's recovery directly depends on the adherence to rehabilitation therapy. Conventional methods consisting of repetitions usually make the patient feel unmotivated and neglect complying with the appropriate treatments. In addition, the treatment of these motor deficits requires intensive and extended rehabilitation sessions that demand sustained dedication and effort by professionals and incur in accretive costs for the institutions. Within this framework, this paper describes the development and evaluation of a new neurorehabilitation therapy, whose core is a socially interactive robot. This robot is able to consistently engaged patients in the therapeutic interaction, providing tireless motivation, encouragement and guidance. The experience has also been the origin of the design and implementation of a novel control architecture, RoboCog, which has provided the robot perceptual and cognitive capabilities that allow a behavior more socially developed, proactive. Verification tests carried out on the various components of the architecture show us the proper working of these and its integration with the rest of the architecture.

Gualzru has to stand by at an interactive panel observing the people passing by and, at some point, select a promising candidate and approach her to initiate a conversation. After a small verbal interaction, the robot is supposed to convince the passerby to walk back to the panel, leaving the rest of the selling task to an interactive software embedded in it. The whole design and building process took less than three years of team composed of five groups at different geographical locations. We describe here the lessons learned during this period of time, from different points of view including the hardware, software, architectural decisions and team collaboration issues.},

This study presents a new approach that improves the accuracy of a previously presented system, which applies an optical pose tracking system to laparoscopic practice. A design enhancement of the artificial markers placed on the laparoscopic instrument as well as an improvement of the calibration process are presented as a means to achieve more accurate results. A technical evaluation has been performed in order to compare the accuracy between the previous design and the new approach. Results show a remarkable improvement in the fluctuation error throughout the measurement platform. Moreover, the accumulated distance error and the inclination error have been improved. The tilt range covered by the system is the same for both approaches, from 90 to 7.5. The relative position error is better for the new approach mainly at close distances to the camera system.

    abstract = {Introduction: The objective of this study is to assess the usefulness of an evaluation system of surgical skills based on motion analysis of laparoscopic instruments. Method: This system consists of a physical laparoscopic simulator and a tracking and assessment system of technical skills in laparoscopy. Six surgeons with intermediate experience (between 1 and 50 laparoscopic surgeries) and 5 experienced surgeons (more than 50 laparoscopic surgeries) took part in this study. All participants were right-handed. The subjects performed 3 repetitions of a cutting task on synthetic tissue with the right hand, dissection of a gastric serous layer, and a suturing task in the dissection previously done. Objective metrics such as time, path length, speed of movements, acceleration and motion smoothness were analyzed for the instruments of each hand. Results: In the cutting task, experienced surgeons show less acceleration (P= .014) and a smoother motion (P= .023) using the scissors. Regarding the dissection activity, experienced surgeons need less time (P= .006) and less length with both instruments (P= .006 for dissector and P= .01 for scissors). In the suturing task, experienced surgeons require less time (P= .037) and distance travelled (P= .041) by the dissector. Conclusions: This study shows the usefulness of the evaluation system for the cutting, dissecting, and suturing tasks. It represents a significant step in the development of advanced systems for training and assessment of surgical skills in laparoscopic surgery. {\textcopyright} 2012 AEC.},

These therapies take advantage of the fact that the motor activity alters the properties of our neurons and muscles, including the pattern of their connectivity, and thus their functionality. Hence, a sensor-motor treatment where patients makes certain movements will help them (re)learn how to move the affected body parts. But these traditional rehabilitation processes are usually repetitive and lengthy, reducing motivation and adherence to the treatment, and thus limiting the benefits for the patients. Objective: Our goal was to create innovative neurorehabilitation therapies based on THERAPIST, a socially assistive robot. THERAPIST is an autonomous robot that is able to find and execute plans and adapt them to new situations in real-time. The software architecture of THERAPIST monitors and determines the course of action, learns from previous experiences, and interacts with people using verbal and non-verbal channels. THERAPIST can increase the adherence of the patient to the sessions using serious games. Data are recorded and can be used to tailor patient sessions. Methods: We hypothesized that pediatric patients would engage better in a therapeutic non-physical interaction with a robot, facilitating the design of new therapies to improve patient motivation. We propose RoboCog, a novel cognitive architecture. This architecture will enhance the effectiveness and time-of-response of complex multi-degree-of-freedom robots designed to collaborate with humans, combining two core elements: a deep and hybrid representation of the current state, own, and observed; and a set of task-dependent planners, working at different levels of abstraction but connected to this central representation through a common interface. Using RoboCog, THERAPIST engages the human partner in an active interactive process. But RoboCog also endows the robot with abilities for high-level planning, monitoring, and learning. Thus, THERAPIST engages the patient through different games or activities, and adapts the session to each individual. Results: RoboCog successfully integrates a deliberative planner with a set of modules working at situational or sensorimotor levels. This architecture also allows THERAPIST to deliver responses at a human rate. The synchronization of the multiple interaction modalities results from a unique scene representation or model. THERAPIST is now a socially interactive robot that, instead of reproducing the phrases or gestures that the developers decide, maintains a dialogue and autonomously generate gestures or expressions. THERAPIST is able to play simple games with human partners, which requires humans to perform certain movements, and also to capture the human motion, for later analysis by clinic specialists. Conclusions: The initial hypothesis was validated by our experimental studies showing that interaction with the robot results in highly attentive and collaborative attitudes in pediatric patients. We also verified that RoboCog allows the robot to interact with patients at human rates. However, there remain many issues to overcome. The development of novel hands-off rehabilitation therapies will require the intersection of multiple challenging directions of research that we are currently exploring.},

This becomes a hard task and might lead to rigid schedules which not always accomplish the desired achievement level of therapeutic objectives established by the physician and could have a negative impact on the patients' engagement in the therapy.

The design of the robotic head, Muecas, is based on ongoing research on the mechanisms of perception and imitation of human expressions and emotions. These mechanisms allow direct interaction between the robot and its human companion through the different natural language modalities: speech, body language and facial expressions. The robotic head has 12 degrees of freedom, in a human-like configuration, including eyes, eyebrows, mouth and neck, and has been designed and built entirely by IADeX (Engineering, Automation and Design of Extremadura) and RoboLab. A detailed description of its kinematics is provided along with the design of the most complex controllers. Muecas can be directly controlled by FACS (Facial Action Coding System), the de facto standard for facial expression recognition and synthesis. This feature facilitates its use by third party platforms and encourages the development of imitation and of goal-based systems. Imitation systems learn from the user, while goal-based ones use planning techniques to drive the user towards a final desired state. To show the flexibility and reliability of the robotic head, the paper presents a software architecture that is able to detect, recognize, classify and generate facial expressions in real time using FACS. This system has been implemented using the robotics framework, RoboComp, which provides hardware-independent access to the sensors in the head. Finally, the paper presents experimental results showing the real-time functioning of the whole system, including recognition and imitation of human facial expressions.},

    abstract = {Developing a simple multimodal interaction game with a 31 dof's mobile manipulator can become a challenging enterprise. A conceptually simple task quickly unfolds into a rather complex ensemble of driver-oriented, framework-based, software-enabled, state-machine controlled mechatronics. In this paper we propose a multimodal interaction game designed to test the initial steps of a cognitive robotics architecture called RoboCog. In the game, a human shows an object to the robot and asks him to touch it with one of his hands. Loki, the robot, searches, gazes, represents and touches the object, then talks and waits for new events. The game goes on until the human player decides to quit. In this paper we describe the steps taken to achieve this goal, analyzing the decisions made in terms of architectural choices and describing how the sequential control of multimodal resources was built. To conclude, several snapshots of the game are presented and commented along with video material of Loki playing with a volunteer.},

Demands for a smart decision to move a manipulator such as humanoid arms in uncertain or crowded environments call for a simultaneous planning and mapping technique. We assume no a priori knowledge of either the obstacles or the rest of the environment exits. For rapid map building and path planning, we use a skin type setup based on 3D depth camera sensors that completely encompass the entire body of a manipulator. The 3D sensors capture the point clouds used to create an instantaneous c-space map whereby a Best Next Move algorithm directs the motion of the manipulator. The Best Next Move algorithm utilizes the gradient of the density distribution of the k-nearest-neighborhood sets in c-space. It has tendency to travel along the direction by which the point clouds spread in space, thus rendering faster mapping of c-space obstacles. The proposed algorithm is compared with several sensor based algorithms for performance measurement such as map completion rate, distribution of samples, total nodes, etc. Some improved performances are reported for the proposed algorithm. Several possible applications include semi-autonomous tele-robotics planning, humanoid arm path planning, among others.},

An efficient Gabor filter is used, along with a set of morphological and convolutional filters to reduce the noise and the light dependence of the image acquired by the robot. Then, a set of invariant edge-based features are extracted and used as input to a Dynamic Bayesian Network classifier in order to estimate a human emotion. The output of this classifier updates a geometric robotic head model, which is used as a bridge between the human expressiveness and the robotic head.

    abstract = {Traditional neuro-rehabilitation therapies are usually repet- itive and lengthy, reducing motivation and adherence to the treatment and thus limiting the benefits for the patients. Moreover, exercises are usually not customizable for the patients, further increasing their disen- gagement with the treatment. The outcome is then a boring session day after day. This is more pronounced when the patient is a child. However, the execution of these repetitive movements is really needed, as it alters the properties of our neurons, including their pattern of connectivity. Correctly driven, this process finally allows to improve the neural func- tionality. The question is then: how can we improve the motivation and immersion of the patients into the therapy? We could try to convert the boring therapy into a funny one. This will help to the patients, but also to the practitioner. For this end, computer-assisted technologies have been extensively employed in the last years. Within this research field, this paper proposes to engage the child to the therapy by immersing her into an augmented reality scenario, where it will play several serious games. The adherence to the session will be further increased by incorporating a social robot as a playmate. This robot will be a personal trainer, that will perform the session in the real world with the patient. Additionally, the robot will be able to record the data for each session. This data could be subsequently used by the rehabilitation specialists for monitoring and/or adapting the therapy to the patient's needs.},

The proposed system enforces kinematics constraints, eliminates odd poses and filters sensor noise, while learning the real dimensions of the performer's body. The system is composed by a PrimeSense sensor, an OpenNI tracker and a kinematics-based filter and has been extensively tested. Experiments show that the proposed system improves pure OpenNI results at a very low computational cost.},

Analysis of laparoscopic suturing task components was performed to improve current objective assessment tools.\n\nMETHODS: Twelve subjects participated in this study as three groups of four surgeons (novices, intermediates and experts). A box-trainer and organic tissue were used to perform the experiment while tool movements were recorded with the augmented reality haptic system. All subjects were right-handed and developed a surgeon's knot. The laparoscopic suturing procedure was decomposed into four subtasks. Different objective metrics were applied during tool-motion analysis (TMA). Statistical analysis was performed, and results from three groups were compared using the Jonckheere-Terpstra test, considering significant differences when P ≤ 0.05.\n\nRESULTS: Several first, second and fourth subtask metrics had significant differences between the three groups. Subtasks 1 and 2 had more significant differences in metrics than subtask 4. Almost all metrics showed superior task executions accomplished by experts (lower time, total path length and number of movements) compared with intermediates and novices.\n\nCONCLUSION: The most important subtasks during suture learning process are needle puncture and first knot. The TMA could be a useful objective assessment tool to discriminate surgical experience and could be used in the future to measure and certify surgical proficiency.},

On top of this first layer of real-time controllers, subsequent levels of software modules interact in many ways to create increasingly sophisticated be- haviors. One of the initial requirements for all these elements to work properly, is that the robot be properly calibrated. The size of each link and the relative positions among them have to be estimated. Also, many sensors have intrinsic parameters that have also to be estimated in order to relate the incoming data to a common reference system. In this paper, this crucial problem has been studied for a new humanoid robot named Loki. Loki has been built in the Robotics and Artificial Vision (RoboLab) laboratory for research in social and service robotics. Two different optimization approaches have been explored, the Levenverg-Maquardt gradient-descent procedure and a Markov Chain Monte Carlo Simulated Annealing algorithm. Both meth- ods are compared under this high dimension self-calibration problem and the results are analyzed and compared. Finally, several strategies to continue research in this area and to achieve fully autonomous calibration and re-calibration procedures are described.},

This paper also introduces the concept of the human and robot facial expressions models, which are included inside of a new cognitive module that builds and updates selective representations of the robot and the agents in its environment for enhancing future HRI. Experimental results demonstrate the quality of the detection and imitation using different scenarios with Muecas avatar},

Different solutions such as sophisticated control architectures have been proposed in order to deal with complexity in robot control. These solutions make robotic systems more robust, scalable and easier to distribute, understand and monitor. However, it is still not clear how to cope with the complexity of the interaction dynamics that underlie the perception of the environment. With this issue in mind this paper presents the concept of cognitive graph grammar and two algorithms that make use of it. Cognitive graph grammars are a grammar-based theoretical framework designed to support cognitive perception and, especially, the active nature of perception. They provide a means to describe how graph- based models can be generated and the behaviors to execute depending on the perceptual context. This is done in such a way that the information provided using this formalism can be used for different perceptive purposes at the same time, such as to link action and perception or to diminish perceptive errors. The paper also describes an experiment in which a cognitive graph grammar is used in an autonomous robot in order to efficiently model an environment made of rectangular rooms with obstacles},

To achieve this, we propose the insertion of multimedia contents and outlines of work adapted to the level of experience of trainees and the detection of the movements of the laparoscopic instrument into the monitored image. A module to track the instrument is implemented focusing on the tip of the laparoscopic tool. This tracking method does not need the presence of artificial marks or special colours to distinguish the instruments. Similarly, the system has another method based on visual tracking to localize support multimedia content in a stable position of the field of vision. Therefore, this position of the support content is adapted to the movements of the camera or the working area.

    abstract = {PURPOSE: Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is a widely used surgical technique that requires a long training process due to its difficulty and complexity. We developed an Augmented Reality Haptic (ARH) System based on electromagnetic tracking devices for use in creation training models (computer-enhanced trainers), in computer-assisted surgery or telemanipulation applications. METHOD: The ARH system consists currently in a Linux driver and a calibration protocol to acquire the tooltip position of conventional laparoscopic tools in real time. A Polhemus Isotrack({\textregistered}) II was used to track surgical endoscopic tooltip movements. The receiver was mounted on the tool handle in order to measure laparoscopic tools positions without complex modifications. Two validation tests were done to guarantee the proper functioning of the ARH system in a MIS environment. The first one checks the driver operation and the second measures the accuracy and reliability of the tooltip pose estimation process. RESULTS: Jitter and orientation errors for the first test were 2.00±0.10 and 2.00±0.09 mm, respectively. Relative position error of 0.25±0.06 cm for a distance of 5 cm was found. Jitter error for the second test was 127 ± 60, 117 ± 40 and 122 ± 39 mm in Z, Y and X rotations, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Results obtained with the ARH system are sufficiently accurate for use in MIS training. A supplementary correction procedure would be necessary to use this ARH system in computer-assisted surgery or telemanipulation.},

    abstract = {Purpose: In minimally invasive surgery, surgeons traditionally begin their surgical education by observing experienced surgeons in the operating rooms. However, objective assessment of the surgeons' skills is still a challenge, because nowadays there is no an automatic objective assessment method of basic laparoscopic surgical skills that are widely used [1]. During this evaluation process and execution of the training tasks by the surgeon, images displayed on monitors provide the main source of information for the surgeon. A real-time system for training assistance in laparoscopic surgery is presented. This system provides support visual content during the execution of the laparoscopic training procedures, tools to carry out an automatic three-dimensional video-based tracking of the laparoscopic instruments, and a more reliable image of the surgical scenario. Methods: To assist the laparoscopic training process, we insert support content into a stable position of the workspace using a visual tracking method of a point marked by the surgeon in the field of vision. A stereoscopic system inside the physical laparoscopic simulator SIMULAP-ICO5 (CCMIJU, Caceres, Spain) has been installed to track the position of the laparoscopic instrument during the training tasks (Fig. 1). To evaluate the system's precision in calculating the depth position of laparoscopic instruments, we computed the accumulated distance error [2]. (Figure presented) Results: We implemented a dynamic artificial environment which represents the working area of the training procedure to show the three-dimensional location of the laparoscopic instrument and the visual support content. The maximum depth error obtained by the tracking system is 5.750 mm at 415 mm from the stereo system (Fig. 2). Conclusion: The proposed system provides surgical assistance during the laparoscopic training process and performs a three-dimensional video-based tracking of the laparoscopic instrument's tip which is a useful tool to carry out an objective assessment of surgical skills. Similarly, this device is an important step in the development of surgical support scenarios based on Augmented Reality},

    abstract = {There is currently a large amount of robotics software using the component-oriented programming paradigm. However, the rapid growth in number and complexity of components may compromise the scalability and the whole lifecycle of robotics software systems. Model-Driven Engineering can be used to mitigate these problems. This paper describes how using Domain-Specific Languages to generate and describe critical parts of robotic systems helps developers to perform component managerial tasks such as component creation, modification, monitoring and deployment. Four different DSLs are proposed in this paper: i) CDSL for specifying the structure of the components, ii) IDSL for the description of their interfaces, iii) DDSL for describing the deployment process of component networks and iv) PDSL to define and configure component parameters. Their benefits have been demonstrated after their implementation in RoboComp, a general-purpose and component-based robotics framework. Examples of the usage of these DSLs are shown along with experiments that demonstrate the benefits they bring to the lifecycle of the components.},

In this paper, an innovative electronic device for endosurgical skills training (EDEST) is presented. A study on reliability for this device was performed. Method: Different electronic components were used to compose this new training device. The EDEST was focused on two basic laparoscopic tasks: triangulation and coordination manoeuvres. A configuration and statistical software was developed to complement the functionality of the device. A calibration method was used to assure the proper work of the device. A total of 35 subjects (8 experts and 27 novices) were used to check the reliability of the system using the MTBF analysis. Results: Configuration values for triangulation and coordination exercises were calculated as 0.5 s limit threshold and 800-11,000 lux range of light intensity, respectively. Zero errors in 1,050 executions (0%) for triangulation and 21 errors in 5,670 executions (0.37%) for coordination were obtained. A MTBF of 2.97 h was obtained. Conclusions: The results show that the reliability of the EDEST device is acceptable when used under previously defined light conditions. These results along with previous work could demonstrate that the EDEST device can help surgeons during first training stages. {\textcopyright} 2010 CARS.},

    abstract = {The ability to detect perceptions which were never experienced before, i.e. novelty detection, is an important component of autonomous robots working in real environments. It is achieved by comparing current data provided by its sensors with a previously known map of the environment. This often constitutes an extremely challenging task due to the large amounts of data that must be compared in real- time. With respect to previously proposed approaches, this paper detects changes in 3D environment based on probabilistic models, the Gaussian Mixture Model, and a fast and robust combined constraint matching algorithm. The matching allows to represent the scene view as a graph which emerges from the comparison betweenMixtures of Gaussians. Finding the largest set of mutually consistent matches is equivalent to find the maximum clique on a graph. The proposed approach has been tested for mobile robotics purposes in real environments and compared to other matching algorithms. Experimental results demonstrate the performance of the proposal.},

In order to set up this experiment, it is required a non trivial set of functioning senso-motor behaviours. We build on this set to design and test a pallet picking task in which the robot has to locate, approach, obtain the pose and, finally, pick up the target. The only sensorial information available to the robot is its binocular vision system and its internal odometry. To carry out this task we have equipped a RobEx robot with a 1 dof forklift and a 4 dof's binocular head. We present the conceptual and computational models and the results of the initial experiments in a real setup.},

    abstract = {Hybrid maps combine metric and topological information for efficiently managing large-scale environments. In a feature-based mapping framework, this paper describes the application of a spectral clustering approach for automatically detecting the transitions between subsequently traversed local maps. Contrary to recently proposed approaches, this algorithm considers each individual map feature as a node of a graph whose edges link two nodes if they are simultaneously observed. Thus, given a sequence of observations, an auxiliary graph is incrementally built whose edges carry non-negative weights according to the locality of the features. Given a feature, its locality defines the set of features that has been observed simultaneously with it at least once. At each execution of the mapping approach, the feature-based graph is split into two subgraphs using a normalized spectral clustering algorithm. If the graph partition is validated, the algorithm determines that the robot is moving into a new area and a new local map is generated. We have tested the proposed approach in real environments where features are obtained using 2D laser sensors or vision. Experimental results demonstrate the performance of the proposal. {\textcopyright} 2009 IEEE.},

    abstract = {The combined use of 3D laser range finders (LRF) and cameras is increasingly common in the navigation application for autonomous mobile robots. The integration of laser range information and images requires the estimation of the Euclidean 3-dimensional transformation between the coordinate systems of the LRF and the cameras. This paper describes a new and efficient method to perform the extrinsic calibration between a 3D LRF and a stereo camera with the aid of inertial data. The main novelty of the proposed approach compared to other state of the art calibration procedures is the use of an inertial measurement unit (IMU), which decreases the number of points needed to a robust calibration. Furthermore, a freely moving bright spot is the only calibration object. A set of virtual 3D points is made by waving the bright spot through the working volume in three different planes. Its projections onto the images are found with sub-pixel precision and verified by a robust RANSAC analysis. These same points are extracted according to the laser scan data and are corresponded to the virtual 3D points in the stereo pair. Experimental results presented in this paper demonstrate the accuracy of our approach. Furthermore, the applicability of the proposed technique is high, only requiring of an inertial sensor coupled to the sensor platform. This approach has been also extended for a camera network.},

This representation remains unchanged in translation or rotation, and it is also robust against noise. Thus, it is able to provide the same segmentation results although the scene will be perceived from different viewpoints.

With respect to previously proposed approaches, the main novelty of our proposal is that the matching between sets of features associated to stereo pairs and between sets of image features associated to consecutive frames are conducted by means of a fast combined constraint matching algorithm. Besides, the efficiency of the approach is increased by using a closed-form solution to estimate the final robot displacement between consecutive acquired frames.

Next, the shape retrieval is achieved using two different algorithms. First, new samplings are generated from each Gaussian function, followed by a random sampling consensus (RANSAC) algorithm to retrieve geometric primitives. Furthermore, a new algorithm is developed to directly retrieve the shape according to the mathematical space of Gaussian mixture. In this paper, the set of geometric primitives has been limited to the set C = {sphere, cylinder, plane}. The two shape retrieval methods are compared in terms of computational cost and accuracy.

In the reactive\nlayer perceptions are organized into a set of modules divided into\ndifferent levels of sensory representation: primitives, such as localization\nor landmark detection, and compound perceptions, such as feature\nmaps (local SLAM). The other part of the reactive layer is the action\nmodule, where a set of behaviours provide the robot with navigation\ncapabilities.

The presented algorithm is a novel variant of the classic Iterative Dual Correspondence Method (IDC). Our scan matching method improves results of this popular algorithm in dynamic environments, due to the changed elements between two consecutive scans acquired by the robot are detected and removed of the matching process. To do that, the curvature information of each element of the environment is used. The proposed scan matching algorithm consists of three stages. Firstly, the whole raw data laser is segmented into groups of consecutive range readings using a distance-based criterion and the adaptive curvature function for each group is computed. Then, this set of curvature functions is matched to the set of curvature functions associated to the previously acquired laser scan. Finally, IDC algorithm is applied only considering those scan points which belong to the set of matched curvature functions. Thus, the system is outstanding in terms of robustly, accuracy and computation time. The implemented algorithm is evaluated and compared to the classic IDC scan matching approaches. Experimental results show that the new variant of the popular IDC algorithm performs well as it adjusts in a good way to changing environments. {\textcopyright} 2008 IEEE.},

The novelty of this system is a new approach for laser data segmentation based on an adaptive curvature estimation. Contrary to other works, this approach divides the laser scan into line and curve segments. Then, these items are used to directly extract several types of landmarks associated with real and virtual features of the environment (corners, center of tree-like objects, line segments and edges). For each landmark, characterisation provides not only the parameter vector, but also complete statistical information, suitable to be used in a localization and mapping algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed approach is efficient to detect landmarks for structured and semi-structured environments. ?? 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.},

    author = {Bachiller Burgos, Pilar and Bustos García, Pablo and Manso Argüelles, Luis Jesús},
    abstract = {During the last few years attention has become an important issue in machine vision. Studies of attentional mechanisms in biological vision have inspired many computational models (Tsotsos et al., 1995; Itti {\{}{\&}{\}} Koch, 2000; Frintrop et al., 2005; Torralba et al., 2006; Navalpakkan {\{}{\&}{\}} Itti, 2006). Most of them follow the assumption of limited capacity associated to the role of attention from psychological proposals (Broadbent, 1958; Laberge, 1995). These theories hypothesize that the visual system has limited processing capacity and that attention acts as a filter selecting the information that should be processed. This assumption has been criticized by many authors who affirm that the human perceptual system processing capacity is enormous (Neumann et al., 1986; Allport, 1987). From this point of view, a stage selecting the information to be processed is not needed. Instead, they claim the role of attention from the perspective of selection for action (Allport, 1987). According to this new conception, the function of attention is to avoid behavioural disorganization by selecting the appropriate information to drive task execution. Such a notion of attention is very interesting in robotics, where the aim is to build autonomous robots that interact with complex environments, keeping multiple behavioural objectives. Attentional selection for action can guide robot behaviours by focusing on relevant visual targets while avoiding distracting elements. Moreover, it can be conceived as a coordination mechanism, since stimuli selection allows serializing the actions of, potentially, multiple active behaviours.},

The liveliness of each relevant object diminishes in time but increases with new observations of such object. The position of each valid object is a possible fixation point for the camera.

    abstract = {This paper is focused on real-time algorithms for estimating dense 3D structure and camera motion from images sequence. Within this approach a practical method is proposed which can retrieve metric reconstruction from continuous image sequences obtained with uncalibrated cameras. Our approach can be divided in two main stages. First, the projection matrices between non-differential camera displacement are estimated, it's known this process relies on correct estimations of matched points. In order to efficiently deal with correspondence searches, a continuous differential tracking of interest points is accomplished by a real-time parameter estimation procedure. Making use of those projection matrices, a self-calibration and camera ego-motion estimation are carried out. Secondly, a dense point reconstruction is performed combining optical flow constraint with the projective model of a moving camera that has been determined in previous stage. In both stages no correspondence searches are found in an explicit way, alternatively corresponding point searches are guided by a continuous tracking of interest points and optical flow constraint. Additionally, we implement a multi-resolution approach to avoid failures in employing differential models such as optical flow constraint, that is the case of large image displacements},

    abstract = {The goal of this dissertation is to study the relationship among autonomy, intelligent behavior and the perception of space in autonomous agents. These three factors are usually explored from quite different perspectives, but their relationship is so deep that a conceptual structure joining them must exist. Efforts aimed at developing intelligent robots that have adopted the main paradigms: Cognitivism and Behavior-Based Artificial Intelligence, have not offered the expected results. However, two new approaches are exploring the middle land in an effort to recover, from a new perspective, the insights developed during the last forty years. On one side, Hybrid Architectures try to soften the interface between reactive behavior and deliberative reasoning, through increasingly dense bidirectional information flows. From a different departure point, Dynamical Systems Theory is beginning to be applied to a wide variety of problems related to Artificial Intelligence, which have been traditionally approached from a straightforward computational point of view. This work is an effort is this last direction. Here, we face the problem of spatial perception in autonomous agents from two complementary viewpoints: the development of a conceptual model that is able to explain desirable properties and facts, inspired in animal and human perception; and the experimental validation of basic aspects of the model on a mobile robot built for this purpose. The proposed model is called perceptual space and consists of a dynamical structure -its state evolves with time- that interacts with specific processing modules: the visual module and the motor module. This structure is organized in three levels: the inner space, which keeps an updated copy of the kinematics, dynamics and propioceptive state of the agent; the outer space, where direct perception of proximal environment is carried out; and extended space, whose recursive encapsulated structure keeps, coded and ordered, unbound amounts of spatial information. The inner dynamics of the perceptual space try to continuously reach an equilibrium point, while it is perturbed by inputs from visual and motor modules. The outcome of this interaction becomes, simultaneously, behavior and representation. The robot used in the experimental research is a mobile tank-like platform endowed with a vision head. It uses a modular control architecture that connects to the main computer on board. All the processing is carried out on board and, at the same time, it can comun{\'{i}}cate with remote workstations through an Ethernet network.},

From the results of these measurements, the Lifshitz-van der Waals component and the electron-acceptor and electron-donor parameters of the acid-base component of the apolar and polar moieties of Triton X-100 and sodium dodecyl sulfonate were determined. Next, taking into account the molecular dimensions of these surfactants, the free energy of interfacial interaction through water was calculated for the apolar and polar parts of Triton X-100 and sodium dodecyl sulfonate. Also, the electrostatic free energy of interactions between DSs(-) ions was evaluated. Good agreement between the free energy of micellization obtained from the cmc data and the free energy of interaction between molecules of surfactant through water was found.

Although this is not a simple task in itself, the difficulties dramatically increase when it is intended to synthesize the inference rules directly from signals obtained from sensors on complex applications. Specific problems concerning knowledge acquisition and representation must be solved. This paper introduces an automatic method to build the knowledge base of a production system from the raw data of a multi-sensor system, using a machine-learning procedure and abstracting the numerical data for symbolic knowledge representation. The method is demonstrated for two applications for monitoring the tool condition in machining processes. ?? 1994.},

Using the measured values of contact angle, the Lifshitz-van der Waals and the acid-base components of the surface tension of fluorite were calculated. The electron-acceptor and electron-donor parts of the acid-base component were also determined. From these results it appears that "dry" fluorite is hydrophobic and that only Lifshitz-van der Waals intermolecular interactions are the origin of its surface tension. Under the influence of water, HF and Ca(OH)2 aqueous solutions, the fluorite surface exhibits hydrophilic behaviour, and its tension, apart from Lifshitz-van der Waals intermolecular interactions, results from acid-base interactions due to the hydration process taking place in the treatment. {\textcopyright} 1993.},

The analysis of variance is carried out for the best found features. Corresponding models are built to explain the measurements variability, and significative differences are tested. Some quality indexes are specially introduced for the assessment. Finally, sensors are classified according to its sensitivity to the tool wear. From the point of view of the application the observed dependence of measurements on the used tool and on the cutting position, and the discovery of interactions between this last factor and tool wear, are very remarkable facts.},
