When controlling dynamic systems, such as mobile robots in uncertain environments, there is a trade off between risk and reward. For example, a race car can turn a corner faster b...
—This paper investigates the network performance loss of using only single-path routing when multiple paths are available. The performance metric is the aggregate utility achieve...
Abstract-- The dynamics of exploration vs exploitation decisions are explored in the context of robotic search problems. Building on prior work on robotic search together with our ...
Stochastic Flow Models (SFMs) are stochastic ystems that abstract the dynamics of complex discrete event systems involving the control of sharable resources. SFMs have been used to...
In this paper we present the results of experiments that explore the ability of the human fingertip to detect haptically simulated first-order and second-order surface discontinui...
