A Programming Language Extension for Probabilistic Robot Programming
نویسنده
چکیده
In recent years, probabilistic techniques have led to improved solutions for many robotics problems. However, no general tools are currently available to aid the development of probabilistic robotic software. This paper presents a programming language extension to C++ that integrates probabilistic computation and learning. Its two main ideas are to make probability distributions as usable as floating-point numbers, and to smoothly integrate function approximators into C++ code. These innovations facilitate the development of robust, probabilistic robot software, as illustrated by a proto-type program for a mail delivery robot.

Towards Programming Tools for Robots that Integrate Probabilistic Computation and Learning
This paper describes a programming language extension of C++, called CES, specifically targeted towards mobile robot control. CES’s design is motivated by a recent series of successful probabilistic methods for mobile robot control, with the goal of facilitating the development of such probabilistic software in future robot applications. CES extends C++ by two ideas: Computing with probability ...
متن کاملMulti-item inventory model with probabilistic demand function under permissible delay in payment and fuzzy-stochastic budget constraint: A signomial geometric programming method
This study proposes a new multi-item inventory model with hybrid cost parameters under a fuzzy-stochastic constraint and permissible delay in payment. The price and marketing expenditure dependent stochastic demand and the demand dependent the unit production cost are considered. Shortages are allowed and partially backordered. The main objective of this paper is to determine selling price, mar...
متن کاملUsing Probabilistic-Risky Programming Models in Identifying Optimized Pattern of Cultivation under Risk Conditions (Case Study: Shoshtar Region)
Using Telser and Kataoka models of probabilistic-risky mathematical programming, the present research is to determine the optimized pattern of cultivating the agricultural products of Shoshtar region under risky conditions. In order to consider the risk in the mentioned models, time period of agricultural years 1996-1997 till 2004-2005 was taken into account. Results from Telser and Kataoka mod...
متن کاملA Programming Language for Probabilistic Computation
As probabilistic computations play an increasing role in solving various problems, researchers have designed probabilistic languages to facilitate their modeling. Most of the existing probabilistic languages, however, focus only on discrete distributions, and there has been little effort to develop probabilistic languages whose expressive power is beyond discrete distributions. This dissertatio...
متن کاملThe Event Calculus in Probabilistic Logic Programming with Annotated Disjunctions
We propose a new probabilistic extension to the event calculus using the probabilistic logic programming (PLP) language ProbLog, and a language construct called the annotated disjunction. This is the first extension of the event calculus capable of handling numerous sources of uncertainty (e.g. from primitive event observations and from composite event definitions). It is also the first extensi...
