Policies form an important part of management and can be an effective means of implementing self-adaptation in pervasive systems. Most policy-based systems focus on large-scale ne...

We report on the design and analysis of a controller which can achieve dynamical self-righting of our hexapedal robot, RHex. We present an empirically developed control procedure ...
— A central goal of robotics and AI is to be able to deploy an agent to act autonomously in the real world over an extended period of time. To operate in the real world, autonomo...
—Though the final goal of mobile robot navigation is to be autonomous, operators’ intelligent and skillful decisions are necessary when there are many scattered obstacles. Ther...
— Synthesis of robot behaviors towards nontrivial goals often requires reasoning about both discrete and continuous aspects of the underlying domain. Existing approaches in build...
