— A new Estimation of Distribution Algorithm (EDA) with spline kernel function (EDA_S) is proposed to optimize biped gait for a nine-link humanoid robot. Gait synthesis of the bi...
The distribution of fitness values across a set of states sharply influences the dynamics of evolutionary processes and heuristic search in combinatorial optimization. In this p...
— We present a novel Weighted Barrier Function (WBF) method of efficiently computing optimal grasping force distributions for multifingered hands. Second-order conic friction c...

Partially-observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) provide a powerful model for sequential decision-making problems with partially-observed state and are known to have (appro...
In this paper we consider systems which are globally completly observable and output-to-state stable. The former property guarantees the existence of coordinates such that the dyna...
