— This paper presents an algorithm for adapting periodic behavior to gradual shifts in task parameters. Since learning optimal control in high dimensional domains is subject to t...
Contracts are behavioural descriptions of Web services. We devise a theory of contracts that formalises the compatibility of a client to a service, and the safe replacement of a s...
— Facing new tasks, the conventional rigid design of robotic joints has come to its limits. Operating in unknown environments current robots are prone to failure when hitting unf...
—Advancements in robotics have gained much momentum in recent years. Industrial robotic systems are increasingly being used outside the factory floor, evident by the growing pres...
The influence of architecture in assurance of system safety is being increasingly recognised in mission-critical software applications. Nevertheless, most architectural strategies...
