The capability of perceiving the environment is crucial for advancing the level of autonomy and sophistication of (semi)autonomous robotic systems and determines the complexity of ...
Strategy planning is crucial to control a group to achieve a number of tasks in a closed area full of obstacles. In this study, genetic programming has been used to evolve rule-ba...
This paper describes Icarus, an agent architecture that embeds a hierarchical reinforcement learning algorithm within a language for specifying agent behavior. An Icarus program e...
We develop a hierarchical distributed production planning and control methodology, called DISCS, for a large and unstable semiconductor manufacturing process. The upper layer of D...
Autonomousmobile robots need to detect potential failures reliably and react appropriately. Dueto uncertainties about the robots and their environment,it is extremelydifficult to ...
