— In this paper a dynamic contact model is presented based on the Johnson-Kendall-Roberts (JKR) theory. The classical JKR model captures the contact properties for the quasi-stat...
An increasing number of real-time applications, related to multimedia and adaptive control systems, require greater flexibility than classical real-time theory usually permits. In...
Many symmetry breaking methods have been proposed so far. Previous works have shown that these methods could be combined together under some conditions. We use a different angle :...
The world is unpredictable, and acting intelligently requires anticipating possible consequences of actions that are taken. Assuming that the actions and the world are determinist...
Classical planning algorithms require that their operators be simple in order for planning to be tractable. However, the complexities of real world domains suggest that, in order ...
