Etudes in Demonstration
… which cause us to be. The act of geometrical demonstration allows for the construction of invisible forces, orders, and patterns underpinning the physical world. This work consists of a series of primarily perspectival drawings which rely on the idea of proportion as a means to construct, …

Reflexivity: A first demonstration
<p>Currently, the emergent relation of reflexivity after training a set of baseline relations has not been demonstrated with any animal—human or nonhuman. True reflexivity can only be demonstrated if no identity (i.e., physically matching stimulus) relations are trained. In six experiments, the …

Standalone Antenna Demonstration System
… design, assembly, and operation of an antenna demonstration system designed to instill interest in the field of antenna design among high school and undergraduate college students. The system is portable, supplied solely by DC power supplies, easily reproducible, and includes rotational axes to …

Obstacle Annotation by Demonstration
By observing human driving with a “digital head" (combined video camera and accelerometers) and taking a few hand annotations, we can automatically annotate regions in a robot's field of view that should be interpreted as obstacles to be avoided. This is accomplished by detecting the movement for a …

Designing interactive visualizations by demonstration
… this gap, we introduce interaction design by demonstration: a novel method for authoring interaction techniques via direct manipulation. Users perform an interaction (e.g., button clicks, drags, or key presses) directly on the visualization they are editing. The system interprets this …

Teacher Selection: Use of Demonstration Lessons
… This study examined the use of a teacher demonstration lesson (TDL) as a component of one district's teacher selection process by determining if differences existed between evaluation ratings, as measured by the Summative Evaluation Report (SER), for teachers who were selected with the TDL …

Learning Activities From Human Demonstration Videos
… to observe and learn activities from human demonstration videos. We specifically focus on using first-person and close up videos for learning new activities, rather than traditional third-person videos that have static and global fields of view. Since the specific objective of these studies …

Learning articulated motions from visual demonstration
… the articulation in objects from user-provided demonstrations, using RGB-D sensors. We introduce algorithms that combine concepts in sparse feature tracking, motion segmentation, object pose estimation, and articulation learning, to develop our proposed framework. Additionally, our methods can …

Bayesian nonparametric reward learning from demonstration
Learning from demonstration provides an attractive solution to the problem of teaching autonomous systems how to perform complex tasks. Demonstration opens autonomy development to non-experts and is an intuitive means of communication for humans, who naturally use demonstration to teach others. …

Automating iterative tasks with programming by demonstration
Programming by demonstration is an end-user programming technique that allows people to create programs by showing the computer examples of what they want to do. Users do not need specialised programming skills. Instead, they instruct the computer by demonstrating examples, much as they might show …

Experimental demonstration of displacement noise free interferometry
… (DFI). This thesis reports on the experimental demonstration of a new method of partial DFI that is effective in the GW detection frequency band. The isolation of a mimicked GW signal from displacement noise of one mirror is demonstrated for a detuned Fabry-Perot cavity. A significant reduction …

Learning task-oriented grasp heuristics from demonstration
… we present a framework that leverages human demonstration to learn task-oriented grasp heuristics for a set of known objects in an unsupervised manner and defined a procedure to instantiate grasps from these learned models. Equating distinct motion profiles with the execution of distinct …

Teaching a robot manipulation skills through demonstration
… robots to learn a generalized motor skill from demonstrations given by a human operator. Data is captured using a teleoperation suit as a task is performed repeatedly on Leonardo, the Robotic Life group's anthropomorphic robot, in different parts of his workspace. Stereo vision and tactile …

Team Learning from Human Demonstration with Coordination Confidence
… learning (RL), learn- ing from human demonstration has a proven record of success. A related technique, called Human Agent Transfer (HAT), and its confidence-based derivatives have been successfully applied to single agent RL. This paper investigates their application to collaborative …
