It is well known that ROS are necessary signaling molecules in gene expression, yet when expressed at high levels, ROS may cause oxidative stress and cell damage. Both hypoxia and hyperoxia may alter ROS production by changi...

It is important for robotic agents to be respectful of the intentions of the human members cohabiting an environment and account for conflicts on the shared resources in the environment, in order to be acceptable members of human-robot ecosystems. In this paper we look at how maintaining predictive models of the human cohabitors in the environment can be used to inform the planning process of t...
