This paper presents a system developed with off-the shelf components which will be used to study humanrobot cooperative tasks from tele-manipulation to supervisory control. The approach enables the design to be modular and flexible, thus presenting an upgradable laboratory and test bed for prototyping autonomy-enhanced and supervised-control activities for Space-Analogue Mobile Manipulation.

While dental disease is largely preventable, professional advice on optimal oral hygiene practices often forgotten or abandoned by patients. Therefore patients may benefit from timely and personalized encouragement to engage in self-care behaviors. In this paper, we develop an online reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm for use optimizing the delivery of mobile-based prompts encourage One main...

−In reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RP-LC), the separation of ionized compounds at neutral pH of the mobile phase is ineffective because these compounds easily become ionized and too hydrophilic to adsorb on the hydrophobic C18 stationary phase. The common method to separate ionized compounds in RP-LC is the usage of the ion pairing agent and the control of pH in the mobile phase. In this...

Several Mobile Agent based distributed network management models have been proposed in recent times to address the scalability and flexibility problems of centralized (SNMP or CMIP management models) models. Though the use of Mobile Agents to distribute and delegate management tasks comes handy in dealing with the previously stated issues, many of the agent-based management frameworks like init...
