This paper presents a novel people detection and tracking method based on a multi-modal sensor fusion approach that utilizes 2D laser range and camera data. The data points in the...

Temporal logics are widely used in specifying goals of agents. We noticed that when directing agents, humans often revise their requirements for the agent, especially as they gath...
Most former studies of Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems (DisCOPs) search considered only complete search algorithms, which are practical only for relatively small prob...
We consider the problem of grasping novel objects in cluttered environments. If a full 3-d model of the scene were available, one could use the model to estimate the stability and...
What local action can agents take, without the benefit of global knowledge, to produce the best global solution? Many dynamic distributed systems can be modeled using techniques f...
In hand-sketched drawings, nearly identical strokes may have different meanings to a user. For instance, a scribble could signify either that a shape should be filled in or that i...
Spatial scaffolding is a naturally occurring human teaching behavior, in which teachers use their bodies to spatially structure the learning environment to direct the attention of...
Checking CSP consistency is shown, in theory, to be an NP-complete problem. There is two families of methods for CSP consistency checking. The first family holds the complete meth...
My thesis aims to contribute towards building autonomous agents that are able to understand their surrounding environment through the use of both audio and visual information. To ...
