Benchmarking hybrid algorithms for distributed constraint optimisation games
, 2011 In this paper, we consider algorithms for distributed constraint optimisation problems (DCOPs). Using a potential game characterisation of DCOPs, we decompose eight DCOP algorithms, taken from the game theory and computer science literatures, into their ...

Continuum Mechanics Modeling of Flexible Spring Joints in Surgical Robots
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A new mechanical model of a tendon‐actuated helical extension spring joint in surgical robots is built using Cosserat rod theory. The model can implicitly handle the unknown contacts between adjacent coils and numerically predict spring shapes from straight to significantly bent under actuation forces.

Learning constraint satisfaction problems : An ILP perspective
, 2014 We investigate the problem of learning constraint satisfaction problems from an inductive logic programming perspective. Constraint satisfaction problems are the underlying basis for constraint programming and there is a long standing interest in ...

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work presents a state‐adaptive Koopman linear quadratic regulator framework for real‐time manipulation of a deformable swab tool in robotic environmental sampling. By combining Koopman linearization, tactile sensing, and centroid‐based force regulation, the system maintains stable contact forces and high coverage across flat and inclined surfaces.

Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,

A Parameterisation of Algorithms for Distributed Constraint Optimisation via Potential Games
, 2008 This paper introduces a parameterisation of learning algorithms for distributed constraint optimisation problems (DCOPs). This parameterisation encompasses many algorithms developed in both the computer science and game theory literatures. It is built on

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work presents a robotic control method for human–robot collaborative assembly based on a biomechanics‐constrained digital human model. Reinforcement learning is used to generate physiologically plausible human motion trajectories, which are integrated into a virtual environment for robot control learning.

Constraint Satisfaction Problems
, 1997 In this section we discuss solving constraint satisfaction problems with evolutionary algorithms. We set up a formal framework by defining the notions free optimization problem, constrained optimization problem and constraint satisfaction problem.
