Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to build a seven‐degrees of freedom (DOF) parallel‐serial robot system which has the advantage of mechanical novelty and simplicity compared with the existing platforms, and to share the experience of converting a popular motion base to an industrial...

Purpose – Indoor robotic tasks frequently specify objects. For these applications, this paper aims to propose an object-based attention method using task-relevant feature for target selection. The task-relevant feature(s) are deduced from the learned object representation in semantic memory...

Purpose This paper aims to focus on the autonomous behavior selection issue of robotics from the perspective of episodic memory in cognitive neuroscience with biology-inspired attention system. It instructs a robot to follow a sequence of behaviors. This is similar to human travel to a target...
