Risk-Aware Motion Planning in Partially Known Environments
Fernando S. Barbosa, Bruno Lacerda, Paul Duckworth +2
Recent trends envisage robots being deployed in areas deemed dangerous to humans, such as buildings with gas and radiation leaks. In such situations, the model of the underlying ha…
On Solving a Stochastic Shortest-Path Markov Decision Process as Probabilistic Inference
Mohamed Baioumy, Bruno Lacerda, Paul Duckworth +1
Previous work on planning as active inference addresses finite horizon problems and solutions valid for online planning. We propose solving the general Stochastic Shortest-Path Mar…
Active Inference for Integrated State-Estimation, Control, and Learning
Mohamed Baioumy, Paul Duckworth, Bruno Lacerda +1
This work presents an approach for control, state-estimation and learning model (hyper)parameters for robotic manipulators. It is based on the active inference framework, prominent…
Towards better healthcare: What could and should be automated?
Wolfgang Frühwirt, Paul Duckworth
While artificial intelligence (AI) and other automation technologies might lead to enormous progress in healthcare, they may also have undesired consequences for people working in…
