In many AI settings an agent is comprised of both actionplanning and action-execution components. We examine the relationship between the precision of the execution component, the...
Researchers demand much from their embodied conversational agents (ECAs), requiring them to be both life-like, as well as responsive to events in an interactive setting. We find t...
In a 2002 paper, we combined fuzzy logic with discrete-event systems (DESs) and established an automaton model of fuzzy DESs (FDESs). The model can effectively represent determinis...
We present a framework to solve a finite-time optimal control problem for parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) with diffusivity-interior actuators, which is motivate...
This paper reports experiences and outcomes of designing and developing an agent–based, autonomous mission control system for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Most UAVs are not...
