We give a constant factor approximation algorithm for the following generalization of the k-median problem. We are given a set of clients and facilities in a metric space. Each fa...
Subsumption architectures are a well-known model for behaviour-based robotic control. The overall behaviour is achieved by defining a hierarchy of increasingly sophisticated behav...
Many practical optimization problems are constrained black boxes. Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategies (CMA-ES) belong to the most successful black box optimization me...
— This paper presents a multi-vehicle platform and framework for robotics education and research. The system is designed as an educational tool for introducing children to engine...
Abstract. Classical evolutionary algorithms have been extremely successful at solving certain problems. But they implement a very simple model of evolutionary biology that misses o...
