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
A comparison of multiple behavior models in a simulation of the aftermath of an improvised nuclear detonationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 30 - Trang 1148-1174 - 2016
Nidhi Parikh, Harshal G. Hayatnagarkar, Richard J. Beckman, Madhav V. Marathe, Samarth Swarup
We describe a large-scale simulation of the aftermath of a hypothetical 10kT improvised nuclear detonation at ground level, near the White House in Washington DC. We take a synthetic information approach, where multiple data sets are combined to construct a synthesized representation of the population of the region with accurate demographics, as well as four infrastructures: transportation, health...... 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
