Autonomous robots facing a diversity of open environments and performing a variety of tasks
and interactions need explicit deliberation in order to fulfill their missions. Deliberation is …

MORSE is a robotic simulation software developed by roboticists from several research
laboratories. It is a framework to evaluate robotic algorithms and their integration in complex …

Despite a very strong synergy between Robotics and AI at their early beginning, the two
fields progressed widely apart in the following decades. However, we are witnessing a …

This paper tackles high-level decision-making techniques for robotic missions, which involve
both active sensing and symbolic goal reaching, under uncertain probabilistic environments …

Acting in robotics is driven by reactive and deliberative reasonings which take place in the
competition between execution and planning processes. Properly balancing reactivity and …

This paper presents a target detection and recognition mission by an autonomous
Unmanned Aerial Vehicule (UAV) modeled as a Partially Observable Markov Decision …

This paper presents HiDDeN, a high-level distributed architecture for multi-robot
cooperation. HiDDeN aims at controlling a team of heterogeneous robots in environments …

The standardization of planning problems by their descriptions in the PDDL has resulted in
clear benchmarking of planners, and thus, in significant advances in reliable and efficient …

Modern robots have evolved to complex hardware and software systems. As such, their
construction and maintenance have become more challenging and the potential for failures …

Self-adaptive software systems make decisions at run time that seek to change their
behavior in response to faults, changing environments and attacks. Therefore, having an …
