We present a novel method for information-theoretic exploration, leveraging recent work on mapping and localization. We describe exploration as the constrained optimization proble...
This paper presents a novel people detection and tracking method based on a multi-modal sensor fusion approach that utilizes 2D laser range and camera data. The data points in the...

The reliable authentication of user attributes is an important prerequisite for the security of web based applications. Digital certificates are widely used for that purpose. How...
Temporal logics are widely used in specifying goals of agents. We noticed that when directing agents, humans often revise their requirements for the agent, especially as they gath...
Forgetting irrelevant/problematic actions in a domain description can be useful in solving reasoning problems, such as query answering, planning, conflict resolution, prediction,...
