An important characteristic of many logics for Arti cial Intelligence is their nonmonotonicity. This means that adding a formula to the premises can invalidate some of the consequ...
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...

Since its inception, arti cial intelligence has relied upon a theoretical foundation centred around perfect rationality as the desired property of intelligent systems. We argue, a...

Researchers in the eld of Distributed Arti cial Intelligence (DAI) have been developing e cient mechanisms to coordinate the activities of multiple autonomous agents. The need for...
In this paper we describe a new e cient algorithm for recognizing 3D objects by combining photometric and geometric invariants. Some photometric properties are derived, that are i...
Neither `design' nor `evolutionary' approaches to building behavior-based robots feature a role for development in the genesis of behavioral organization. However, the n...
Abstract. The paper refutes the general phenomenological argument that knowledge cannot be completely represented by symbols and, hence, symbolic AI does not work. Moreover, the vi...
Abstract. We argue that none of the existing epistemic logics can adequately serve the needs of agent theories. We suggest a new concept of knowledge which generalizes both implici...
Recent developments in philosophy, linguistics, developmental psychology and arti cial intelligence make it possible to envision a developmental path for an arti cial agent, groun...
