We investigate a way to act intelli- gently as quickly as possible in domains where finding a complete policy would take a hopelessly long time. This approach, ...

A mobile robot acting in the world is faced with a large amount of sen- sory data and uncertainty in its action outcomes. Indeed, almost all in-.

Introduction: A mobile robot acting in the world is faced with a large amount of sensory data and uncertainty in its action outcomes.

This approach, Relational Envelope-based Planning (REBP) tackles large, noisy problems along two axes. First, describing a domain as a relational MDP (instead ...

Bibliographic details on Envelope-based Planning in Relational MDPs.

First, describing a domain as a relational MDP (instead of as an atomic or propositionally-factored MDP) allows problem structure and dynam- ics to be captured ...

This work shows how structured representations of the environment's dynamics can constrain and speed up the planning process and uses the envelope MDP ...

This thesis proposes a synthesis of logic and probability for solving stochastic sequential decision-making problems. We address two main questions: How can ...

We describe a method to use structured representations of the environmentâ s dynamics to constrain and speed up the planning process. Given a problem domain ...
