Teaching a pet-robot to understand user feedback through interactive virtual training tasksSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 20 - Trang 85-104 - 2009
Anja Austermann, Seiji Yamada
In this paper, we present a human-robot teaching framework that uses “virtual”
games as a means for adapting a robot to its user through natural interaction in
a controlled environment. We present an experimental study in which participants
instruct an AIBO pet robot while playing different games together on a computer
generated playfield. By playing the games and receiving instruction and feedbac... hiện toàn bộ
Introduction to the special issue on normative multiagent systemsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 17 - Trang 1-10 - 2008
Guido Boella, Leendert van der Torre, Harko Verhagen
This special issue contains four selected and revised papers from the second
international workshop on normative multiagent systems, for short NorMAS07
(Boella et al. (eds) Normative multiagent systems. Dagstuhl seminar proceedings
07122, 2007), held at Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany, in March 2007. At the workshop
a shift was identified in the research community from a legal to an
interactionist view ... hiện toàn bộ
Verifying Compliance with Commitment ProtocolsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 2 - Trang 217-236 - 1999
Mahadevan Venkatraman, Munindar P. Singh
Interaction protocols are specific, often standard, constraints on the behaviors
of autonomous agents in a multiagent system. Protocols are essential to the
functioning of open systems, such as those that arise in most interesting web
applications. A variety of common protocols in negotiation and electronic
commerce are best treated as commitment protocols, which are defined, or at
least analyzed,... hiện toàn bộ
Wasp-like Agents for Distributed Factory CoordinationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 8 - Trang 237-266 - 2004
Vincent A. Cicirello, Stephen F. Smith
Agent-based approaches to manufacturing scheduling and control have gained
increasing attention in recent years. Such approaches are attractive because
they offer increased robustness against the unpredictability of factory
operations. But the specification of local coordination policies that give rise
to efficient global performance and effectively adapt to changing circumstances
remains an inter... hiện toàn bộ
Detecting disagreements in large-scale multi-agent teamsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 18 - Trang 501-525 - 2008
Gal A. Kaminka
Intermittent sensory, actuation and communication failures may cause agents to
fail in maintaining their commitments to others. Thus to collaborate robustly,
agents must monitor others to detect coordination failures. Previous work on
monitoring has focused mainly on small-scale systems, with only a limited number
of agents. However, as the number of monitored agents is scaled up, two issues
are r... hiện toàn bộ
Computational aspects of strategic behaviour in elections with top-truncated ballotsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 31 - Trang 1506-1547 - 2017
Vijay Menon, Kate Larson
Understanding when and how computational complexity can be used to protect
elections against different manipulative actions has been a highly active
research area over the past two decades. Much of this literature, however, makes
the assumption that the voters or agents specify a complete preference ordering
over the set of candidates. There are many multiagent systems applications, and
even real-... hiện toàn bộ
Egalitarian judgment aggregationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 37 - Trang 1-32 - 2023
Sirin Botan, Ronald de Haan, Marija Slavkovik, Zoi Terzopoulou
Egalitarian considerations play a central role in many areas of social choice
theory. Applications of egalitarian principles range from ensuring everyone gets
an equal share of a cake when deciding how to divide it, to guaranteeing balance
with respect to gender or ethnicity in committee elections. Yet, the egalitarian
approach has received little attention in judgment aggregation—a powerful
frame... hiện toàn bộ
