11. Robots that help each other : self-configuration of eistributed robot systems
Sammanfattning : Imagine the following situation. You give your favorite robot, named Pippi, the task to fetch a heavy parcel that just arrived at your front door. While pushing the parcel back to you, she must travel through a door. Unfortunately, the parcel she is pushing is blocking her camera, giving her a hard time to see the door. LÄS MER
12. A Constraint-Based Approach for Hybrid Reasoning in Robotics
Sammanfattning : The quest of AI and Robotics researchers to realize fully AI-driven integrated robotic systems has not yet led to such realizations, in spite of great attainments in both research areas. This thesis claims that one of the major hindrances to these realizations is the lack of attention to what we call “the hybrid reasoning problem”. LÄS MER
13. Studies in Semantic Modeling of Real-World Objects using Perceptual Anchoring
Sammanfattning : Autonomous agents, situated in real-world scenarios, need to maintain consonance between the perceived world (through sensory capabilities) and their internal representation of the world in the form of symbolic knowledge. An approach for modeling such representations of objects is through the concept of perceptual anchoring, which, by definition, handles the problem of creating and maintaining, in time and space, the correspondence between symbols and sensor data that refer to the same physical object in the external world.

14. Model-free execution monitoring in behavior-based mobile robotics
Sammanfattning : In the near future, autonomous mobile robots are expected to assist us by performing service tasks in many different areas, including transportation, cleaning, mining, or agriculture. In order to manage these tasks in a changing and partially unpredictable environment, without the help of humans, the robot must have the ability to plan its actions and to execute them robustly and in a safe way.

15. Extending a networked robot system to include humans, tiny devices, and everyday objects
Sammanfattning : In networked robot systems (NRS), robots and robotic devices are distributed in the environment; typically tasks are performed by cooperation and coordination of such multiple networked components. NRS offer advantages over monolithic systems in terms of modularity, flexibility and cost effectiveness, and they are thus becoming a mainstream approach to the inclusion of robotic solutions in everyday environments.
