The majority of planning and scheduling research has focused on batch-oriented models of planning. This paper discusses the use of iterative repair techniques to support a continuous planning process as is appropriate for autonomous spacecraft control. This allows the plan to incorporate execution feedback such as early or late completion of activities, and over-use or under-use of resources. I...

This paper addresses the problem of verifying plan execution. An implemented computer program which is part of the execution monitoring process for an experimental robot system is described. The program analyzes a plan and automatically inserts appropriate perception requests into the plan and generates anticipated sensor values. Real-time confirmation of these expectations implies successful p...

The development of nanocellulose sustainable materials is considered as one the most promising alternatives to address plastic pollution issues, global wastes may increase 11 billion tonnes by 2025. However, how achieve homogeneous dispersion nanocelluloses (CNCs) and strong interfacial interactions with matrix materials, while well maintaining its percolation networks, a challenge in this fiel...
