Multi-robot area coverage poses several research challenges. The challenge of coordinating multiple robots’ actions coupled with the challenge of minimizing the overlap in covera...
Abstract. We describe a way to improve the performance of MDP planners by modifying them to use lower and upper bounds to eliminate non-optimal actions during their search. First, ...
In this paper, we tackle learning in distributed systems and the fact that learning does not necessarily involve the participation of agents directly in the inductive process itse...
The Distributed Probabilistic Protocol (DPP) is a new, approximate algorithm for solving Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems (DCSPs) that exploits prior knowledge to impr...
Research in Interactive Narrative has developed new approaches to the behaviour of virtual actors, but has dedicated little attention to the physical behaviour of the environment ...
