Decomposition is a powerful technique for reducing the size of a backtracking search tree. However, when solving constraint optimization problems (COP's) the standard techniqu...
— This paper formulates and solves the inverse dynamics problem of deformable robots made entirely of electro-active polymer gel. One of the primary difficulties with deformable...
Both simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) and detection and tracking of moving objects (DTMO) play key roles in robotics and automation. For certain constrained environmen...
— The problem of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is one of the most studied in the robotics literature. Most existing approaches, however, focus on scenarios where l...
Abstract— We propose a new approximate algorithm, LAJIV (Lookahead J-MDP Information Value), to solve Oracular Partially Observable Markov Decision Problems (OPOMDPs), a special ...
