We present teleassistance, a two-tiered control structure for robotic manipulation that combines the advantages of autonomy and teleoperation. At the top level, a teleoperator pro...
Closed-loop control relies on sensory feedback that is usually assumed to be free. But if sensing incurs a cost, it may be coste ective to take sequences of actions in open-loop m...

This paper proposes a combined mechanism for coordinating agents in timed normative multi-agent systems. Timing constraints in a multi-agent system make it possible to force actio...

Abstract. Restricting the power of the schedulers that resolve the nondeterminism in probabilistic concurrent systems has recently drawn the attention of the research community. Th...
