• Creative Exploration Using Topic Based Bisociative Networks 

  Ahmed, Faez; Fuge, Mark (Cambridge University Press, 2018-02-05)

  Bisociative knowledge discovery is an approach that combines elements from two or more `incompatible' domains to generate creative solutions and insight. Inspired by Koestler's notion of bisociation, in this paper we propose ...

• Multipass Target Search in Natural Environments 

  Kuhlman, Michael J.; Otte, Michael W.; Sofge, Donald; Gupta, Satyandra K. (MDPI, 2017-11-02)

  Consider a disaster scenario where search and rescue workers must search difficult to access buildings during an earthquake or flood. Often, finding survivors a few hours sooner results in a dramatic increase in saved ...

• Targeted Feature Recognition Using Mechanical Spatial Filtering with a Low-Cost Compliant Strain Sensor 

  Barnett, Eli M.; Lofton, Julian J.; Yu, Miao; Bruck, Hugh A.; Smela, Elisabeth (Nature Publishing Group, 2017-07-11)

  A tactile sensing architecture is presented for detection of surface features that have a particular target size, and the concept is demonstrated with a braille pattern. The approach is akin to an inverse of mechanical ...
