Insect-level intelligence is sufficient to move furniture

(2019) Insect-level intelligence is sufficient to move furniture. Master of Philosophy thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This thesis examines the claim that reactive behaviours are sufficient to enable a pair of robots to collaborate and move a piece of furniture. It shows that a small set of mostly reactive behaviours can be defined to enable a pair of robots to complete complex collaborative tasks in a domestic environment such as moving a table to the wall. The reactive behaviours can be re-used to execute other tasks such as robots moving fruits and vegetables from a delivery truck to a warehouse. These reactive behaviours can also be adapted to allow robots to collaborate with humans in a natural way.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
