Appearance-based localization compares the current image taken from a robot's camera to a set of pre-recorded images in order to estimate the current location of the robot. S...
Consider unmanned airborne vehicle (UAV) control agents in a dynamic multi-agent system. The agents must have a set of goals such as destination airport and intermediate positions...
We present Variable Influence Structure Analysis, or VISA, an algorithm that performs hierarchical decomposition of factored Markov decision processes. VISA uses a dynamic Bayesia...
Discrete Event Simulation (DES) has been used as a design and validation tool in various production and business applications. DES can also be utilized for analyzing the product-m...
