This article introduces our research efforts to build the Essex Rovers’01 robot soccer team participated in the RoboCup-2001 competition. A modular design for implementing a behavior-based hierarchy is introduced, which consists of three modules such as Perception module, Cognition module and Action module. This architecture is used for the team to achieve intelligent actions in real time. The ...

An approach for an off-line segmentationand recognition system for actions in meeting scenarios is presented. The deployed system consists of three major modules, which are a feature extraction module, a segmentation module and a statistical classifier which all have been assembled in conjunction of an EU funded automated meeting transcription system. All these modules and their functionality a...

This paper presents the application of an action module planning method to an experimental climbing robot named LIBRA. The method searches for a sequence of physically realizable actions, called action modules, to produce a plan for a given task. The search is performed with a hierarchical selection process that uses task and configuration filters to reduce the action module inventory to a reas...

Signal-event nets provide a modular modeling technique based on Petri nets. Actions of a module can be activated or can be prevented by another module through condition arcs. One-sided synchronization of modules is done by signal-events, which cause the execution of actions in steps. But due to condition arcs and signal-events simultaneous ring of steps may lead to markings, which are not reach...

A prototype Decision Support System for Coalition Operations (DSCCO) is being developed by SPAWAR Systems Center – San Diego to support the Operations Planning Team (OPT) of the Commander in Chief, United States Pacific Command. The goal of DSCCO is to apply and integrate organizational design concepts and decision support technologies in planning and executing multi-national coalition operatio...

In this paper, we show how A-Prolog can be used to perform incremental, inductive learning of the behavior of dynamic domains from (possibly incomplete) observations. The learning module deals with both direct and indirect effects of actions, and is not affected by the frame problem. Moreover, the module can be combined with planning and diagnostic modules, allowing for its integration in auton...

Algebra extensions A ⊆ B where A is a left B-module such that the Baction extends the multiplication in A are ubiquitous. We encounter examples of such extensions in the study of group actions, group gradings or more general Hopf actions as well as in the study of the bimodule structure of an algebra. In this paper we are extending R.Wisbauer’s method of constructing the central closure of a se...
