— We consider the problem of task assignment and execution in multirobot systems, by proposing a procedure for bid estimation in auction protocols. Auctions are of interest to mu...
— The problem of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is one of the most studied in the robotics literature. Most existing approaches, however, focus on scenarios where l...
Probabilistic Decision Graphs (PDGs) are a class of graphical models that can naturally encode some context specific independencies that cannot always be efficiently captured by...
We present an approximate dynamic programming approach for making ambulance redeployment decisions in an emergency medical service system. The primary decision is where we should ...
