Acquiring information about its environment by sensing is a crucial ability of autonomous robots. Based on the established solution to the Frame Problem of the Fluent Calculus, we...
: Newly emerging robotics applications for domestic or entertainment purposes are slowly introducing autonomous robots into society at large. A critical capability of such robots i...
We consider groups of autonomous robots in which robots can help each other by offering information-producing functionalities. A functional configuration is a way to allocate and c...
To build autonomous robots able to live and interact with humans in a real-world dynamic and uncertain environment, the design of architectures permitting robots to develop attachm...
A survey of blackboard robotics applications shows the improvements of blackboard models used in telerobotics and autonomous robots from the use of sequential blackboard in the ro...
As autonomous robots become increasingly adept at performing simple tasks like moving from place to place and picking up and delivering objects, it is becoming apparent that an im...

Autonomous robots need the ability to move purposefully and without human intervention in real-world environments that have not been speci cally engineered for them. These environm...
There has been an increasing interest in developing computational theories of autonomous robots. However the previous work has focused on intelligent modifications to internal com...
This paper describes an autonomous robot football team. The work is being carried out since 1998. It describes the hardware used by the robots, the sensory system and interfaces, a...
The paper presents a new technique for extracting symbolic ground facts out of the sensor data stream in autonomous robots for use under hybrid control architectures, which compris...
