— We consider the problem of inferring sensor positions and a topological (i.e. qualitative) map of an environment given a set of cameras with non-overlapping fields of view. In...
The overall purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the relevance of semiotics concepts to the analysis of intelligent control systems. Semiotics has only a minor impact on resear...
By using an example from a robot navigating domain, we argue that to specify declaratively the behavior of an agent, we need to have a formal and explicit notion of \quality plans...
Finite-state controllers represent an effective action selection mechanisms widely used in domains such as video-games and mobile robotics. In contrast to the policies obtained fr...
Goal-directed path planning is one of the basic and widely studied problems in the field of mobile robotics. Homotopy classes of trajectories, arising due to the presence of obsta...
