Inverse Reinforcement Learning of Pedestrian-Robot Coordination

We apply inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) with a novel cost feature to the problem of robot navigation in human crowds. Consistent with prior empirical work on pedestrian behavior, the feature anticipates collisions between agents. We efficiently learn ...

Multi-agent actor-critic with time dynamical opponent model

Olga Fink, Qin Wang

In multi-agent reinforcement learning, multiple agents learn simultaneously while interacting with a common environment and each other. Since the agents adapt their policies during learning, not only the behavior of a single agent becomes non-stationary, b ...

Generalizing Bulk-Synchronous Parallel Processing for Data Science: From Data to Threads and Agent-Based Simulations

Zilu Tian

Agent-based simulations have been widely applied in many disciplines, by scientists and engineers alike. Scientists use agent-based simulations to tackle global problems, including alleviating poverty, reducing violence, and predicting the impact of pandem ...

Partial Information Sharing Over Social Learning Networks

Ali H. Sayed, Virginia Bordignon

This work addresses the problem of sharing partial information within social learning strategies. In social learning, agents solve a distributed multiple hypothesis testing problem by performing two operations at each instant: first, agents incorporate inf ...

On the Scalability of Vision-based Drone Swarms in the Presence of Occlusions

Dario Floreano, Fabian Maximilian Schilling, Enrica Soria

Vision-based drone swarms have recently emerged as a promising alternative to address the fault-tolerance and flexibility limitations of centralized and communication-based aerial collective systems. Although most vision-based control algorithms rely on th ...

Controlling pedestrian flows with moving walkways

Michel Bierlaire, Nicholas Alan Molyneaux

Moving walkways are pedestrian dedicated hardware which generally decrease pedestrian travel time. We propose the utilization of these devices to dynamically control pedestrian flows in order to improve pedestrian dynamics. Three variations of a control st ...

Vision-based Drone Flocking in Outdoor Environments

Dario Floreano, Fabrizio Schiano, Fabian Maximilian Schilling

Decentralized deployment of drone swarms usually relies on inter-agent communication or visual markers that are mounted on the vehicles to simplify their mutual detection. This letter proposes a vision-based detection and tracking algorithm that enables gr ...

Tenants’ residential mobility in Switzerland: the role of housing functions

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Anna Pagani, Ivo Philippe Baur

The interaction between residential preferences and dwellings is a complex system whose function thus far remains insufficiently explored. In this paper, we investigate housing functions as orchestrators of households’ residential mobility in the context o ...

An Institutional Robotics Approach to the Design of Socially Aware Multi-Robot Behaviors

Alcherio Martinoli

We propose an institutional robotics approachto the design of socially-aware multi-robot systems, wherecooperation among the robots and their social interactions withhumans are guided using institutions. Inspired by the conceptsstemming from economical sci ...

Structuring socio-technical complexity in infrastructure systems: an agent-based model

Reinier Verhoog, Amineh Ghorbani

In this paper we demonstrate how agent-based modelling can be used to understand the emergence of a new infrastructure system, more specifically, a biogas infrastructure in the Netherlands. The innovative element in our modelling approach is the use of MAI ...
