We present a framework for recovery of nonmonotonic theories, i.e. of theories that are interpreted using a nonmonotonic semantics. Recovery of a nonmonotonic theory is needed if ...
In formal approaches to commonsense reasoning about actions. the Ramification Problem denotes the problem of handling indirect effects which implicitly derive from so-called state...
Reinforcement Learning (RL) is the study of programs that improve their performance by receiving rewards and punishments from the environment. Most RL methods optimize the discoun...
Task execution in multi-agent environments may require cooperation among agents. Given a set of agents and a set of tasks which they have to satisfy, we consider situations where ...
This paper addresses the logical foundations of goal-regression planning in autonomous rational agents. It focuses mainly on three problems. The first is that goals and subgoals w...
Renewed motives for space exploration have inspired NASA to work toward the goal of establishing a virtual presence in space, through heterogeneous eets of robotic explorers. Info...

In this paper, we propose a definition of goal achievability: given a basic action theory describing an initial state of the world and some primitive actions available to a robot...
