Autonomous robots are increasingly served in real-world unstructured human environments
with complex long-horizon tasks, such as restaurant serving and office delivery. Task and …

Publisher Summary Cognitive robotics is the study of the knowledge representation and
reasoning problems faced by an autonomous robot (or an agent) in a dynamic and …

We describe an integrated strategy for planning, perception, state estimation and action in
complex mobile manipulation domains based on planning in the belief space of probability …

Handbook of Knowledge Representation describes the essential foundations of Knowledge
Representation, which lies at the core of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The book provides an up …

Planning in nondeterministic domains yields both conceptual and practical difficulties. From
the conceptual point of view, different notions of planning problems can be devised: for …

Current industry standards for describing Web Services focus on ensuring interoperability
across diverse platforms, but do not provide a good foundation for automating the use of …

Search has been vital to artificial intelligence from the very beginning as a core technique in
problem solving. The authors present a thorough overview of heuristic search with a balance …

Different planning techniques have been applied to the problem of automated composition
of web services. However, in realistic cases, this planning problem is far from trivial: the …

In this paper we present a new approach to the problem of planning with incomplete
information and sensing. Our approach is based on a higher level,“knowledge-based” …

We have measured the tunneling density of states (DOS) in a superconductor carrying a
supercurrent or exposed to an external magnetic field. The pair correlations are weakened …
