The Dependent Doors Problem: An Investigation into Sequential Decisions without Feedback

We introduce the dependent doors problem as an abstraction for situations in which one must perform a sequence of possibly dependent decisions, without receiving feedback information on the effectiveness of previously made actions. Informally, the problem considers a set of d doors that are initially closed, and the aim is to open all of them as fast as possible. To open a door, the algorithm k...

The Design of Implicit Interactions or , Making

Introduction Imagine, for a second, a doorman that behaves as automatic doors do. He does not acknowledge you when you pass by, or approach. He gives no hint which door can or will open—until you wander within 10 feet of the door, whereupon he flings the door wide open. If you arrived after hours, you might stand in front of the doors for awhile before you understood that the doors are locked, ...

Enabling a Robot to Open Doors

The area of robotic exploration is a field of growing interest and research in the robotics and computer science communities. Ideally, a human would send a robot into an area otherwise too dangerous for the human to enter, such as a smoke-filled building, a structurally-unsound bridge, or a radioactive area. Although robots already exist which can map a building's floor plan, they can only do s...
