Aug 17, 2021 · Behavior tree terminology. Let’s dig into the terminology in behavior trees. While the language is not standard across the literature and various software libraries, I will largely follow the definitions in Behavior Trees in Robotics and AI.. At a glance, these are the types of nodes that make up behavior trees and how they are represented graphically:

Jan 24, 2025 · Didem Gurdur Broo is an Assistant Professor and Associate Senior Lecturer at the Department of Information Technology at Uppsala University.

Sep 16, 2022 · Hierarchical planning is great in that it helps prune infeasible plans before spending time producing detailed, low-level plans. However, in this space the mythical downward refinement property is often cited. To directly quote the 1991 paper by Bacchus and Yang, this property states that “given that a concrete-level solution exists, every abstract solution can be refined to a concrete-level ...

May 21, 2021 · Automatic: The robot is controllable and it can execute motion commands provided by a human in a constrained environment.Think, for example, of industrial robots in an assembly line.You don’t need to program very complicated intelligence for a robot to put together a piece of an airplane from a fixed set of instructions.

Mar 2, 2016 · If you are interested in science, “singularity” probably makes you think of a black hole. Black holes are popular in the media right now since the LIGO lab in America proved the existence of gravitational waves.At the center of a black hole, physicists theorize there is a “gravitational singularity”.

Her lab, the Collective Embodied Intelligence Lab, is focused on design and coordination of robot collectives able to achieve complex behaviors beyond the reach of an individual, and corresponding studies on how social insects do so in nature.

Dec 5, 2016 · This fall’s new FAA regulations have made drone flight easier than ever for both companies and consumers. But what if the drones out on the market aren’t exactly what you want? A new system from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory is the first to allow users to design, simulate and build their own custom drone.Users can change the size, shape and structure of ...
