Optimal Planning in a Dynamic World
Devin Wild Thomas, Solomon Eyal Shimony, Wheeler Ruml +3
Background: We address the problem of planning when the set of feasible states or actions changes over time. For example, in the problem of path planning among moving obstacles (so…
TWISTED-RL: Hierarchical Skilled Agents for Knot-Tying without Human Demonstrations
Guy Freund, Tom Jurgenson, Matan Sudry +1
Robotic knot-tying represents a fundamental challenge in robotics due to the complex interactions between deformable objects and strict topological constraints. We present TWISTED-…
When Competition Helps: Achieving Optimal Traffic Flow with Multiple Autonomous Planners
Ivan Geffner, Erez Karpas, Moshe Tennenholtz
The inefficiency of selfish routing in congested networks is a classical problem in algorithmic game theory, often captured by the Price of Anarchy (i.e., the ratio between the soc…
Planning and Acting While the Clock Ticks
Andrew Coles, Erez Karpas, Andrey Lavrinenko +3
Standard temporal planning assumes that planning takes place offline and then execution starts at time 0. Recently, situated temporal planning was introduced, where planning starts…
A Formal Metareasoning Model of Concurrent Planning and Execution
Amihay Elboher, Ava Bensoussan, Erez Karpas +3
Agents that plan and act in the real world must deal with the fact that time passes as they are planning. When timing is tight, there may be insufficient time to complete the searc…
Robofriend: An Adpative Storytelling Robotic Teddy Bear -- Technical Report
Ido Glanz, Matan Weksler, Erez Karpas +1
In this paper we describe Robofriend, a robotic teddy bear for telling stories to young children. Robofriend adapts its behavior to keep the childrens' attention using reinforcemen…
