Typical tasks of multi agent systems are effective coordination of single agents and their cooperation. Especially in dynamic environments, like the RoboCup soccer domain, the uncertainty of an opponent’s team behavior complicates coordinated team action. This paper presents a novel approach for intuitive multi agent plan construction and adaptive plan selection to attempt these tasks. We intro...

The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility and potential benefits of using a physiological plausible model of handwriting as a feature representation for sequence generation with recurrent mixture density networks. We build on recent results in handwriting prediction developed by Graves (2013), and we focus on generating sequences that possess the statistical and dynamic qualities ...

TAPES-G is a grid-based terrain analysis program that computes slope, aspect, upslope contributing area, profile and plan curvature and several other topographic attributes for each cell of a square-grid digital elevation model (DEM). These topographic attributes can be used to represent key physical processes in a form simple enough to allow modeling at catchment and larger scales. The program...

This paper addresses the problem of navigation of a carlike robot in dynamic environments. Such environments impose a hard real time constraint. However, computing a complete motion to the goal within a limited time is impossible to achieve in most real situations. Besides, the limited duration validity of the model used for planning requires the model and therefore the plan to be updated. In t...

There are many situations for which a feasible nonholonomic motion plan must be generated immediately based on real-time perceptual information. Parametric trajectory representations limit computation because they reduce the search space for solutions (at the cost of potentially introducing suboptimality). The use of any parametric trajectory model converts the optimal control formulation into ...

As a potential exemplar for understanding how volitional actions emerged from reflexes, we studied the relationship between an ancient reflexive gaze stabilisation mechanism (optokinetic nystagmus) and purposeful eye movements (saccades) that target an object. Traditionally these have been considered distinct (except in the kinematics of their execution) and studied independently. We find that ...

Arc splines are G continuous curves made of circular arcs and straight-line segments. They have the advantages that the curvature of an arc spline is known and controlled at all but a finite number of points, and that the offset curve of an arc spline is another arc spline. Arc splines are used by computer-controlled machines as a natural curve along which to cut and are used by highway route p...

Abstract Mangroves and seagrasses are important nurseries for many marine species, this function is linked to the complexity context of these habitats in coastal seascapes. It also connected bathymetric features that influence habitat availability, accessibility refuge habitats, but significance terrain variation nursery unknown. To test whether seafloor influences function, we surveyed fish as...
