The ALPS (Adaptive Learning and Planning System) project is a three-year effort to design and prototype a next-generation adaptive planning architecture as part of the ARPA / Rome Laboratory Planning Initiative (ARPI). ALPS is being used.within the Planning Initiative to perform large-scale military transportation scheduling, taking a Time-Phased Force Deployment Data (TPFDD) file with thousand...

Using autonomous mobile robots is now a necessity for today's large e-commerce warehouses to save time and energy, prevent human-based errors. Robotic Mobile Fulfillment System (RMFS) controls these as well all other resources tasks in warehouse. There are challenges the management of an RMFS-based smart warehouse because high dynamics system. Limited such robots, stations, totes, item spaces s...

John Rawls’s A Theory of Justice is examined from the perspective of experimental methods in economics and complex adaptive systems simulations. This paper first discusses the justice principle selection process in Rawls’s representation of it as a hypothetical experiment. This hypothetical experiment fails to satisfy reasonable experimental controls, particularly as reflects the conception of ...

In contrast to classic geometric motion planning, informative path planning (IPP) seeks a path for a robot to sense the world and gain information. In adaptive IPP, the robot chooses the next sensing location conditioned on all information acquired so far, and the robot’s goal is to minimize the travel cost required for identifying a true hypothesis. Adaptive IPP is NP-hard, because the robot m...

Generally speaking, the mobile robot is capable of sensing its surrounding environment, interpreting the sensed information to obtain the knowledge of its location and the environment, planning a real-time trajectory to reach the object. In this process, the issue of obstacle avoidance is a fundamental topic to be challenged. Thus, an adaptive path-planning control scheme is designed without de...

Municipal water sectors shift from building traditional grey stormwater infrastructure to ambitious plans for holistic blue–green due climate vulnerability. The requires new ways of thinking, working, and collaborating, we need understand address the planning challenges creates. While existing literature explores a range technical, institutional, ?nancial barriers alternative implementation, ho...
