Integrating High Level and Low Level Planning

We present a possible method for integrating high level and low level planning. To do so, we introduce the global plan random trajectory η0 : [1, T ] → R, measured by goals Gi and governed by the distribution p(η0 | {Gi}i=1). This distribution is combined with the low level robot-crowd planner p(f, f, . . . , f | z1:t) (from [Trautman et al., 2013, Trautman and Krause, 2010]) in the distributio...

High-Level Optimizations for Low-Level Software

ion, in the presence of a number of interacting analysis tools? We believe this to be an important challenge but have not yet made much progress towards solving it. Of course, machines often have trouble answering “why” questions because they usually do not keep track of the reasons that previous decisions were made, and because the correct answer can depend on the frame of mind of a human. We ...
