Abstract

Observation and communication are important aspects of agent teamwork. We employ the agent's observability as the major means for individual agents to reason about the environment and other team members. We focus on how to represent agents' observability and how to include it into the basic reasoning for proactive communication. The syntax and the operational semantics of observability are given. Preliminary experiments are carried out to study the effectiveness of different aspects of observability.

Proactivity is the ability to take initiative by exhibiting goal-directed behavior. Agents with proactivity can respond to dynamic environment in a timely way. Hence the ability to anticipate the information needs of teammates and assist them proactively ...

Advances in Sliding Mode Observation and Estimation (Part One)

A high-order sliding-mode observer is designed for linear time invariant systems with single output and unknown bounded single input. It provides for the global observation of the state and the output under sufficient and necessary conditions of strong ...
