Everyone is Welcome to Attend Abstract: This talk will discuss some ongoing work with an upper-torso humanoid robot at Imperial College. The project involves using abductive reasoning to facilitate high-level active vision. The robot nudges an object in its workspace to obtain a new view of it, and uses the information gained to improve its set of hypotheses about what the object might be. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Computer Science Colloquium Abstracts On-line: http://homepages.feis.herts.ac.uk/~nehaniv/colloq/
