Abstract. Genetic algorithms play a significant role, as search techniques for handling complex spaces, in many fields such as artificial intelligence, engineering, robotic, etc...
— A novel criterion is introduced for assessing the diversity of a collection of paths or trajectories. The main idea is the notion of survivability, which measures the likelihoo...
— We propose a learning algorithm for estimating the 3-D orientation of objects. Orientation learning is a difficult problem because the space of orientations is non-Euclidean, ...
— In a wide range of applications the orientation of a rigid body does not need to be restricted to one given orientation, but can be given as a continuous set of frames. We addr...
— Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) provide a rich mathematical model to handle realworld sequential decision processes but require a known model to be solv...
