Cooperative motion planning is still a challenging task for robots. Recently, Value Iteration Networks (VINs) were proposed to model motion planning tasks as Neural Networks. In this work, we extend VINs to solve cooperative planning tasks under non-holonomic constraints. For this, we interconnect multiple VINs to pay respect to each other’s outputs. Policies for cooperation are generated via i...

A cooperative truck platoon is a set of virtually linked trucks driving with small intra-vehicle headway enabled by connected and automated vehicle technologies. One the primary benefits platooning energy savings due to reduction aerodynamic drag on platooned vehicles. The focus this paper scheduling travel itineraries given facilitate formation platoons maximize savings. By constructing time-e...

We present a work-in-progress on distributed planning, which relies on the “planning as satisfiability” paradigm. It allows for multiagent cooperative planning by joining SAT-based planning and a particular approach to distributed propositional satisfiability. Each agent is thus enabled to plan on its own and communicate with other agents during the planning process, in such a way that synchron...

despite various efforts towards empowerment of cooperatives in iran, much in agreement with this concept and strategies can not be observed. the purpose of this descriptive study was to investigate the solutions to empowering production cooperatives. the delphi technique was employed to do this study. the target population consisted of specialists in national provincial and specialists (n=15). ...

This paper presents the work done to investigate the potential of applying Genetic Algorithms (GA’s) to automate the path planning of cooperative construction manipulators. Though there is potential to achieve economy by using cooperative manipulators, this method is not being commonly adopted in construction sites. A key barrier to the use of cooperative manipulators is the meticulous planning...

Introduction: In Pharmacy Diploma Program, mathematics is known as pharmaceutical mathematics. Due to the importance of pharmaceutical mathematics in practice, it is important to have a basic mathematical skill as a basis in calculations in pharmaceutical science. Therefore, it is necessary to create a lecturing condition that enables students more active in understanding the lessons. This rese...
