Biped Gait Optimization using Spline Function based Probability Model
— 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...

Approximating the distribution of fitness over hamming regions
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...

Weighted barrier functions for computation of force distributions with friction cone constraints
— We present a novel Weighted Barrier Function (WBF) method of efficiently computing optimal grasping force distributions for multifingered hands. Second-order conic friction c...

Symbolic Dynamic Programming for First-order POMDPs
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...

Global complete observability and output-to-state stability imply the existence of a globally convergent observer
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...
