Abstract:
One of the fundamental aspects of a virtual environment is the virtual agents that inhabit them. In many applications, virtual agents are required to perceive input information from their environment and make decisions appropriate to their task based on their programmed reaction to those inputs. The research presented in this thesis focuses on the reactive behaviour of the agents. We propose a new control architecture to allow agents to behave autonomously in navigation tasks in unknown environments. Our behaviour-based architecture uses fuzzy logic to solve problems of agent control and actio

This dissertation reports findings from an exploratory study of the formation of emergent strategy (Mintzberg 1978; Mintzberg & Waters 1985) in large and complex organizations. The study tracks autonomous strategic behaviour (Burgelman, 1983b), which is theorized and shown to be an important precursor to emergent strategy, using a single case study covering a period of ten years at a large telecommunications company. Building on Bower and Burgelman's model (Bower, 1970; Burgelman, 1983a, 1983b, 1983c), the dissertation develops a process model for emergent strategy which features four key comp

An autonomous system has been widely applied for various civil/military research because of its versatile capability of understanding high-level intent and direction of a surrounding environment and targets of interest.

This paper proposes a model to ensure safe and realistic human-robot interaction for an autonomous vehicle interacting with a human-driven vehicle, by incorporating the driving style of the human driver. The interaction is modeled as a game, where both agents try to maximize future rewards. The driving style of the human is captured via the role of the human driver in the game, capturing the fact that humans with different driving styles reason differently. The solution of the game is obtained using an numerical approximation and used by the autonomous vehicle to plan optimally ahead. The mode

We consider the effect on tipping from an additive periodic forcing and an additive white noise in a canonical model with a saddle-node bifurcation and a slowly varying bifurcation parameter. Using a multiple scales analysis, we consider the effect of amplitude and frequency of the periodic forcing relative to the drifting rate of the varying bifurcation parameter. We show that a high frequency oscillation drives an earlier tipping when the bifurcation parameter varies more slowly, with the advance of the tipping point proportional to the square of the ratio of amplitude to frequency.

Three groups of models were developed, based on previously documented common pool resource experiments, and simulated using the Swarm multi-agent simulation environment. Agents in these models were designed to represent the actions of the individual appropriators in the experiments and the common pool resource itself. The three groups of models are differentiated by the capabilities of the app

Abstract:
To ensure the safety of the road system, an autonomous vehicle should have a good understanding of its surrounding environment. This thesis designs a framework for trajectory prediction of surrounding vehicles on a highway road system based on their historical information such as past positions, velocities and their neighbouring vehicles. The framework consists of a long short-term memory (LSTM) networks with a encoder-decoder structure that handles this sequence-to-sequence prediction problem. In order to account for uncertainty, confidence values are assigned to different maneuvers based on

Abstract:
This thesis presents methods for implementing robust hexpod locomotion on an autonomous robot with many sensors and actuators. The controller is based on the Subsumption Architecture and is fully distributed over approximately 1500 simple, concurrent processes. The robot, Hannibal, weighs approximately 6 pounds and is equipped with over 100 physical sensors, 19 degrees of freedom, and 8 on board computers. We investigate the following topics in depth: distributed control of a complex robot, insect-inspired locomotion control for gait generation and rough terrain mobility, and fau

Abstract:
With current state-of-the-art approaches, development of a single mobile manipulation capability can be a labor-intensive process that presents an impediment to the creation of general purpose household robots. At the same time, we expect that involving a larger community of non-roboticists can accelerate the creation of new novel behaviors. We introduce the use of a software authoring environment called ROS Commander (ROSCo) allowing end-users to create, refine, and reuse robot behaviors with complexity similar to those currently created by roboticists. Akin to Photoshop, which provides en

The current state-of-the-art in riverine data collection is plagued by several issues which I identify and address. I completed a real-time test of my behaviors to insure they worked as designed.
