In recent years, a great number of publications have explored the use of genetic algorithms
as a tool for designing fuzzy systems. Genetic Fuzzy Systems explores and discusses this …

The paper explores a very simple agent design method called Q-decomposition, wherein a
complex agent is built from simpler subagents. Each subagent has its own reward function …

The early promise of the impact of machine intelligence did not involve the partitioning of the
nascent field of Artificial Intelligence. The founders of AI envisioned the notion of embedded …

The success of mobile robots, and particularly of those interfacing with humans in daily
environments (eg, assistant robots), relies on the ability to manipulate information beyond …

The development of techniques for autonomous navigation in real-world environments
constitutes one of the major trends in the current research on robotics. An important problem …

Task planning for mobile robots usually relies solely on spatial information and on shallow
domain knowledge, such as labels attached to objects and places. Although spatial …

Anchoring is the problem of connecting, inside an artificial system, symbols and sensor data
that refer to the same physical objects in the external world. This problem needs to be solved …

Developing software for mobile robot applications is a tedious and error-prone task. Modern
mobile robot systems are distributed systems, and their designs exhibit large heterogeneity …

Artificial intelligence methods open up new possibilities in art and entertainment, enabling
rich and deeply interactive experiences. At the same time as AI opens up new fields of …

Research on execution monitoring in its own is still not very common within the field of
robotics and autonomous systems. It is more common that researchers interested in control …
