Off-road autonomous navigation is one of the most difficult automation challenges from the point of view of constraints on mobility, speed of motion, lack of environmental structur...
Safe autonomous flight is essential for widespread acceptance of aircraft that must fly close to the ground. We have developed a methodology of collision avoidance that can be use...

Life as an autonomous homeostatic system is discussed. A mechanism that drives a homeostatic state to an autonomous selfmoving state is examined with two computational cell models...
To operate reliably in environments where interaction with an operator is infrequent or undesirable, an autonomous system should be capable of both determining how to achieve its ...

We present a formal framework of an autonomous agent as a collection of coordinated control loops, with a recurring sense, plan, act cycle. Our framework manages the information f...
The aim of this paper is to provide a logical framework for the specification of autonomous Multi-Agent Systems (MAS). A MAS is autonomous in so far as it is capable of binding (...
We consider a distributed information system that allows autonomous consumers to query autonomous providers. We focus on the problem of query allocation from a new point of view, ...
Often remote investigations use autonomous agents to observe an environment on behalf of absent scientists. Predictive exploration improves these systems’ efficiency with onboa...
There have been several recent efforts to build behavior-based autonomous creatures. While competent autonomous action is highly desirable, there is an important need to integrate...
We consider a distributed information system that allows autonomous consumers to query autonomous providers. We focus on the problem of query allocation from a new point of view, ...
