Planning plays an instrumental role in prominent self-regulation theories (e.g., action regulation, control, goal setting), yet as a scientific community we know little about how people carry out their learning plans. Using an experimental field study, we implemented a repeated-measures intervention requiring trainees to create a plan for when, where, and how much time they intended to devote t...

The colour-word Stroop task and the picture-word interference task (PWI) have been used extensively to study the functional processes underlying spoken word production. One of the consistent behavioural effects in both tasks is the Stroop-like effect: The reaction time (RT) is longer on incongruent trials than on congruent trials. The effect in the Stroop task is usually linked to word planning...

This paper deals with the design and the implementation of an automatic task planner for a robot, irrespective of whether it is a stationary robot or a mobile robot. The aim of the task planner nothing but, they are planning systems which are used to plan a particular task and do the robotic manipulation. This planning system is embedded into the system software in the computer, which is interf...

Many developing countries face strains in meeting the demands for provision of health services because of limited medical personnel. This situation has been exacerbated by the continued "brain drain" of highly trained medical professionals, and, more recently, by the increased demand for HIV services, especially in countries with a generalized epidemic. This has led to renewed interest in task ...

If classical planners are ever to automatically plan the actions of the smart machines, particularly robots for the automatic assembly of industrial objects, then they will have to know much more about geometry and topology as well as sensing. Consider that the simple act of changing an object’s grasp-the change might be necessitated by the nature of some assembly goal-involves the interaction ...

Using autonomous mobile robots is now a necessity for today's large e-commerce warehouses to save time and energy, prevent human-based errors. Robotic Mobile Fulfillment System (RMFS) controls these as well all other resources tasks in warehouse. There are challenges the management of an RMFS-based smart warehouse because high dynamics system. Limited such robots, stations, totes, item spaces s...
