Event-driven scheduling policies are increasingly deployed in industrial environments, where decisions are made under asynchronous and partially observed system states. As a result, decision states are not temporally consistent, action…
We study the problem of how to coordinate the actions of independent agents in a distributed system where message arrival times are unbounded, but are determined by an exponential probability distribution. Asynchronous protocols executed in…
The main approach to evaluating communication is by assessing how well it facilitates coordination. If two or more individuals can coordinate through communication, it is generally assumed that they understand one another. We investigate…
We consider the localization problem between agents while they run a formation control algorithm. These algorithms typically demand from the agents the information about their relative positions with respect to their neighbors. We assume…
Robots operating alongside humans often encounter unfamiliar environments that make autonomous task completion challenging. Though improving models and increasing dataset size can enhance a robot's performance in unseen environments, data…
