Abstract Indoor mobile robots are becoming reliable enough in navigation tasks to consider working with teams of robots. Using SRI International’s open-agent architecture (OAA) and SAPHIRA robot-control system, we configured…

This paper advances the state of the art in the selection of minimal configurations of sensors and actuators for active vibration control with smart structures. This paper presents the development…

This paper describes a prototype system for quickly developing joint military courses of action. The system, SOCAP (System for Operations Crisis Action Planning and Execution), with a color map display…

This paper describes the ACT formalism, which is designed to encode the knowledge required to support both the generation of complex plans and reactive execution of those plans in dynamic…

Through the use of fuzzy logic, goal-oriented behavior (e.g., trying to reach a given location) and reactive behavior (e.g., avoiding previously unknown obstacles on the way) are smoothly blended into…

This report presents an informal review of current research trends in planning and, in particular, my own views on multiagent planning. A short description of the GEMPLAN research project is…

In this paper, the reasoning and planning capabilities of an autonomous mobile robot are described. The reasoning system that controls the robot is designed to exhibit the kind of behavior…

This paper describes a mobile robot designed for experimentation in artificial intelligence (AI). Presented here are details of the robot?s hardware and software architecture. The robot is driven by two…

I describe a model of PI that rests on an analysis of plans as mental phenomena. I show that the content of an appropriate response to a query is affected…
