We consider the problem of grasping novel objects in cluttered environments. If a full 3-d model of the scene were available, one could use the model to estimate the stability and...
We consider problems of geometric exploration and selfdeployment for simple robots that can only sense the combinatorial (non-metric) features of their surroundings. Even with suc...
Due to computational intractability, large scale coordination algorithms are necessarily heuristic and hence require tuning for particular environments. In domains where character...
This paper describes a study of agent bidding strategies, assuming combinatorial valuations for complementary and substitutable goods, in three auction environments: sequential au...
In order to re-use existing models of the environment mobile robots must be able to estimate their position and orientation in such models. Most of the existing methods for positi...
