We describe a very large scale distributed robotic system, involving a team of over 100 robots, that has been successfully deployed in large, unknown indoor environments, over ext...
— An autonomous robot system that is to act in a real-world environment is faced with the problem of having to deal with a high degree of both complexity as well as uncertainty. ...
Abstract— Creatively misquoting Thomas Hobbes, the process of software debugging is nasty, brutish, and all too long. This holds all the more true in robotics, which frequently i...

In this paper we propose a scaling-up method that is applicable to essentially any induction algorithm based on discrete search. The result of applying the method to an algorithm ...
Intelligent planning algorithms such as the Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) have succeeded in dialog management applications [10, 11, 12] because of their rob...
