Over the last decade, use of robots in production and daily life has increased. With increasingly complex tasks interaction different environments including humans, are required a higher level autonomy for efficient deliberation. Task planning is key element It combines elementary operations into structured plan to satisfy prescribed goal, given specifications on robot environment. In this manu...

The main goal in task planning is to build a sequence of actions that takes an agent from initial state state. In robotics, this particularly difficult because usually have several possible results, and sensors are prone produce measurements with error. Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) commonly employed, thanks their capacity model the uncertainty modify monitor system. H...

the aim of this investigation was to compare the level and the pattern of attention demands of a volleyball jumping serve using a probe reaction time (rt) technique. 14 junior elite volleyball players performed 60 jumping serves (js) with their preferred hand. jumping serve was performance as the primary task and verbal rt that was administered in four probe positions (pp) as secondary task. re...

This paper provides an approach to integrating geometric motion planning with logical task planning for long-horizon tasks in domains with many objects. We propose a tight integration between the logical and geometric aspects of planning. We use a logical representation which includes entities that refer to poses, grasps, paths and regions, without the need for a priori discretization. Given th...

This study sought to probe the role of input flooding through listening tasks on the uptake of simple present tense and the present progressive tense among pre - intermediate English a s Foreign Language ( EFL ) learners. To comply with the objective, an experimental design was adopted. 55 pre - intermediate learners participated in the study. They were randomly divided into one control group, ...

background this study aimed to examine strategic collaborative quality management (scqm) impact on employee job satisfaction.   methods the study presents a case study over six years following the implementation of the scqm programme in a public hospital. a validated questionnaire was used to measure employees’ job satisfaction. the impact of the intervention was measured by comparing the pre-i...
