Exotic semirings such as the “(max, +) semiring” (R ∪ {−∞}, max, +), or the “tropical semiring” (N ∪ {+∞}, min, +), have been invented and reinvented many times s...
In this paper we present an overview of recent developments in the plan-based control of autonomous robots. We identify computational principles that enable autonomous robots to a...
The complexity of the cluster-based web service challenges the traditional approaches, which fail to guarantee the reliability and real-time performance required. In this paper, w...
An emerging tapestry of computations will soon integrate systems around the globe. It will evolve without central control. Its complexity will be vast. We need new ideas, tools an...
— The ability to self-replicate is one of the distinctive features of living organisms. Robots capable of self-replication would have a profound impact on the field of robotics ...
