The selection of the action to do next is one of the central problems faced by autonomous agents. In AI, three approaches have been used to address this problem: the programming-b...
Emotions play a very important role in human behaviour and social interaction. In this paper we present a control architecture which uses emotions in the behaviour selection proces...
Current evaluation functions for heuristic planning are expensive to compute. In numerous planning problems these functions provide good guidance to the solution, so they are wort...
In this paper a combined use of reinforcement learning and simulated annealing is treated. Most of the simulated annealing methods suggest using heuristic temperature bounds as the...
Agents (hardware or software) that act autonomously in an environment have to be able to integrate three basic behaviors: planning, execution, and learning. This integration is man...
