This paper develops a model for exceptions and an approach for incorporating them in commitment protocols among autonomous agents. Modeling and handling exceptions is critical for...
A critical challenge to creating effective agent-based systems is allowing them to operate effectively when the operating environment is complex, dynamic, and error-prone. In this...
Obstacle avoidance methods approach the problem of mobile robot autonomous navigation by steering the robot in real-time according to the most recent sensor readings, being suitab...
