Planning can often be simplified by decomposing the task into smaller tasks arranged hierarchically. Charlin et al. [4] recently showed that the hierarchy discovery problem can be...
Consider unmanned airborne vehicle (UAV) control agents in a dynamic multi-agent system. The agents must have a set of goals such as destination airport and intermediate positions...
The present paper proposes the motion planning based on "the dynamics shaping" for a robotic arm to hit the target robustly toward the desired direction, of which the con...
— Tendon driven mechanisms have been considered in robotic design for several decades. They provide lightweight end effectors with high dynamics. Using remote actuators it is pos...
Cost-based query optimizers need to estimate the selectivity of conjunctive predicates when comparing alternative query execution plans. To this end, advanced optimizers use multi...
