Perception-link behavior system integration Encodes various features into their styles Convolution Neural Network with Restricted Boltzmann machine and Sample Pooling [1] Associates style of various features, both operator and interactants FUSION adaptive resonance theory [2] Decodes the current state based on the style and the previous state.

8 8 of 15 DECODER FOR GESTURES Two main considerations Capability to generate different gestures given any encoded signal. Capability to generate similar variations of gestures if encoded signals are close to each others. Basic concept behind encoding and decoding signals One of the possible applications: Collision preventions
