We consider qualitative strategy synthesis for the formalism called consumption Markov decision processes. This formalism can model dynamics of an agents that operates under resource constraints in a stochastic environment. The presented…

In this work, we study properties of deterministic finite-state automata with timers, a subclass of timed automata proposed by Vaandrager et al. as a candidate for an efficiently learnable timed model. We first study the complexity of the…

Temporal planning offers numerous advantages when based on an expressive representation. Timelines have been known to provide the required expressiveness but at the cost of search efficiency. We propose here a temporal planner, called FAPE,…

In real-world applications, the ability to reason about incomplete knowledge, sensing, temporal notions, and numeric constraints is vital. While several AI planners are capable of dealing with some of these requirements, they are mostly…

Many applications -- from planning and scheduling to problems in molecular biology -- rely heavily on a temporal reasoning component. In this paper, we discuss the design and empirical analysis of algorithms for a temporal reasoning system…

This paper explores the theoretical limits of using discrete abstractions for nonlinear control synthesis. More specifically, we consider the problem of deciding continuous-time control with temporal logic specifications. We prove that…

Coordinating agents to complete a set of tasks with intercoupled temporal and resource constraints is computationally challenging, yet human domain experts can solve these difficult scheduling problems using paradigms learned through years…

This paper presents an algorithmic framework for control synthesis of continuous dynamical systems subject to signal temporal logic (STL) specifications. We propose a novel algorithm to obtain a time-partitioned finite automaton from an STL…

Replanning in temporal logic tasks is extremely difficult during the online execution of robots. This study introduces an effective path planner that computes solutions for temporal logic goals and instantly adapts to non-static and…

In this work, we consider the problem of planning for temporal logic tasks in large robot environments. When full task compliance is unattainable, we aim to achieve the best possible task satisfaction by integrating user preferences for…

Discrete-time stochastic systems are an essential modelling tool for many engineering systems. We consider stochastic control systems that are evolving over continuous spaces. For this class of models, methods for the formal verification…

Sampled semantics of timed automata is a finite approximation of their dense time behavior. While the former is closer to the actual software or hardware systems with a fixed granularity of time, the abstract character of the latter makes…

In many settings, people exhibit behavior that is inconsistent across time --- we allocate a block of time to get work done and then procrastinate, or put effort into a project and then later fail to complete it. An active line of research…

We tackle the problem of planning in nondeterministic domains, by presenting a new approach to conformant planning. Conformant planning is the problem of finding a sequence of actions that is guaranteed to achieve the goal despite the…

Recently, there has been a growing interest in developing inventory control policies which are robust to model misspecification. One approach is to posit that nature selects a worst-case distribution for any stochastic primitives from some…

The use of spatio-temporal logics in control is motivated by the need to impose complex spatial and temporal behavior on dynamical systems, and to control these systems accordingly. Synthesizing correct-by-design control laws is a…

We propose a novel neural network architecture (TSympOCNet) to address high--dimensional optimal control problems with linear and nonlinear dynamics. An important application of this method is to solve the path planning problem of…

This paper presents a fully automated procedure for controller synthesis for multi-agent systems under coupled constraints. Each agent has dynamics consisting of two terms: the first one models the coupled constraints and the other one is…

Most classical scheduling formulations assume a fixed and known duration for each activity. In this paper, we weaken this assumption, requiring instead that each duration can be represented by an independent random variable with a known…

We consider a problem on the synthesis of reactive controllers that optimize some a priori unknown performance criterion while interacting with an uncontrolled environment such that the system satisfies a given temporal logic specification.…
