Many practical dextrous manipulation tasks involve large-scale motion of the grasped object while maintaining a stable grasp. To plan such tasks, one must control both the motion of the object and the contact locations, while also adhering to the workspace constraints typical of multingered hands. In this paper, we integrate the relevant theories of contact kinematics, nonholonomic motion plann...

We address in this paper the problem of coordinating resource-bounded agents under time constraints in a dynamic environment. The agent society we deal with consists of coordinated agents each of which has a goal to achieve before a deadline and new agents can asynchronously appear to achieve time-constrained goals and to coordinate their plans with the already coordinated agent society. Agents...

Une part dominante de la littérature portant sur l'implémentation des ERP (Enterprise Resource Planing) se fonde sur les théories de l'alignement (« fit ») des processus de l'entreprise aux prérequis de ces progiciels de gestion intégrés. Les spécificités culturelles de l'organisation peuvent être considérées comme les mis-alignements les plus manifestes car référent aux valeurs des acteurs ain...

In this commentary I argue that although pddl2.1 is a very useful standard for the planning competition, its design does not properly consider the issue of domain modeling. Hence, I would not advocate its use in specifying planning domains outside of the context of the planning competition. Rather, the field needs to explore different approaches and grapple more directly with the problem of eff...

We extend the plan-recognition-as-planning technique to both explain the past and project the future. The Planning Projector helps users understand future possibilities in order to make better decisions.
