Information-Theoretic Approach to Efficient Adaptive Path Planning for Mobile Robotic Environmental Sensing
Recent research in robot exploration and mapping has focused on sampling environmental hotspot fields. This exploration task is formalized by Low, Dolan, and Khosla (2008) in a se...

Optimality Properties of Planning Via Petri Net Unfolding: A Formal Analysis
We provide a theoretical analysis of planning via Petri net unfolding, a novel technique for synthesising parallel plans. Parallel plans are generally valued for their execution f...

Flexible Execution of Plans with Choice
Dynamic plan execution strategies allow an autonomous agent to respond to uncertainties while improving robustness and reducing the need for an overly conservative plan. Executive...

Dynamic Controllability of Temporally-flexible Reactive Programs
In this paper we extend dynamic controllability of temporally-flexible plans to temporally-flexible reactive programs. We consider three reactive programming language constructs w...

The Influence of k-Dependence on the Complexity of Planning
A planning problem is k-dependent if each action has at most k pre-conditions on variables unaffected by the action. This concept is well-founded since k is a constant for all but...

A Decision-Theoretic Approach to Dynamic Sensor Selection in Camera Networks
Nowadays many urban areas have been equipped with networks of surveillance cameras, which can be used for automatic localization and tracking of people. However, given the large r...

Navigation Planning in Probabilistic Roadmaps with Uncertainty
Probabilistic Roadmaps (PRM) are a commonly used class of algorithms for robot navigation tasks where obstacles are present in the environment. We examine the situation where the ...
