Satisscing Action Selection
نویسنده
چکیده
It is argued that for real-world applications action selection should be satisscing, i.e. merely`good enough' rather than optimal. It is then demonstrated that multiple objective decision theory provides a suitable framework for formulating action selection mechanisms that are satisscing. A set of experiments demonstrate the potential advantages of the proposed action selection mechanisms.

Multiple Objective Action Selection in Behavior-Based Control
It is demonstrated that multiple objective decision theory provides a suitable formalism to encompass ideas from behavior-based system synthesis and control, where each behavior is cast as an objective function estimator. Action selection is comprised of generating and then selecting a set of satisscing solutions among a set of solutions that are Pareto-optimal. The basic ideas of the proposed ...
متن کاملNonlinear Robust Regulation Using the Satisscing Paradigm
In this paper we use the recently introduced concept of satisscing decision theory to develop robustly stabilizing state-feedback control strategies for nonlinear systems subject to unknown disturbances. The result is a point-wise \robust satisscing" set of control options from which a continuous feedback strategy can be selected. We show that the set of continuous \ro-bust satisscing" control ...
متن کاملSatisscing Games
Optimization is a mathematical sophistication of the common sense view that decision makers ought to do the best they can, and leads to well known solution concepts for mathematical games. For multi-agent systems in naturalistic settings, however, uncertainty and complexity may subordinate optimal performance to the more moderate goals of functionality and robustness. Moderation is another comm...
متن کاملOptimising and Satisscing under Partial Ignorance
In this paper, we study decision making in situations where the outcomes of the options are (in general) uncertain, without making the assumption that this uncertainty can be exactly quantiied by means of a (single) probability measure. In such situations of partial ignorance, the traditional notion of optimising by maximising expected utility is in general rather weak, and we will discuss some...
متن کاملA Theory of Satis cing Control A
The existence of an optimal control policy and the techniques for nding it are grounded fundamentally in a superlative perspective. These techniques can be of limited value when the global behavior of the system is diicult to characterize , as it may be when the system is nonlinear, when the input is constrained, or when only partial information is available regarding system dynamics or the env...
