We describe a reactive robotic control system which incorporates aspects of machine learning to improve the system's ability to successfully navigate in unfamiliar environments. This system overcomes limitations of completely reactive systems by exercising on-line performance enhancement without the need for high level planning. The results of extensive simulation studies using the learning enh...

Background. The reactive abilities of goalkeepers are crucial and may directly impact match results. Therefore, research on factors that may enhance goalkeeper performances during diving tasks (DT) and how these factors are mediated would provide valuable information for coaches and goalkeepers. Objectives. The purpose of this investigation was to: (i) assess the impact of caffeine consumption...

Wireless sensor nodes are necessary for industrial applications. This paper presents a mathematical framework for the evaluation of the performance of proactive and reactive routing protocols in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Each wireless node has a two customer queue without priority in that network models. Here the two types of customers are unicast and broadcast packets. In the previous m...

In this project we have developed reactive instruments for performance. Reactive instruments provide feedback for the performer thereby providing a more dynamic experience. This is achieved through the use of haptics and robotics. Haptics provide a feedback system to the control surface. Robotics provides a way to actuate the instruments and their control surfaces. This allows a highly coordina...

This paper describes a method for improving the comprehensibility, accuracy, and generality of reactive plans. A reactive plan is a set of reactive rules. Our method involves two phases: (1) formulate explanations of execution traces, and (2) generate new reactive rules from the explanations. The explanation phase involves translating the execution trace of a reactive planner into an abstract l...

The performance of indirect indices of infection in the newborn vary because of differences in techniques, including diagnostic cut off levels. We have compared serial neutrophil band cell counts with C reactive protein measured by rate nephelometry. The 'gold standard' was a positive culture and the performance of the tests was compared by the technique of receiver operating characteristics (R...

This paper presents a robust control scheme for distributed generations (DGs) in islanded mode operation of a microgrid (MG). In this strategy, assuming a dynamic slack bus with constant voltage magnitude and phase angle, nonlinear equations of the MG are solved in the slack-voltage-oriented synchronous reference frame, and the instantaneous active and reactive power reference for the slack bus...

We consider a novel use of mostly-correct reactive policies. In classical planning, reactive policy learning approaches could find good policies from solved trajectories of small problems and such policies have been successfully applied to larger problems of the target domains. Often, due to the inductive nature, the learned reactive policies are mostly correct but commit errors on some portion...

MANET is the collection of mobile devices which formed a self configuring infrastructure less temporary network. In this paper we are doing performance evaluation and analysis of three reactive routing protocols (DSR, AODV and TORA) in MANET for different performance metrics Such as Average Throughput, Packet Delivery ratio, Packet Drop Ratio, Average End-to-End Delay, Routing Overhead and Aver...
