A fast simulatedannealingalgorithmis developed for automatic object recognition. The object recognition problem is addressed as the problem of best describing a match between a hy...
— Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) offer a powerful mathematical framework for making optimal action choices in noisy and/or uncertain environments, in par...
A method of regrasp planning for humanoid robot manipulation is proposed. We adopt pivoting manipulation for the humanoid robot to move a bulky object without lifting in a stable a...
— Rapid-deployment mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) are frequently characterized by common overarching mission objectives which make it reasonable to expect some degree of coopera...
