91. A Hierarchical World Model for an Autonomous Scout Vehicle
Published: 4/5/2002
Authors: Stephen B. Balakirsky, Tommy Chang, Tsai Hong Hong, Elena R Messina, Michael O Shneier
Abstract: This paper describes a world model that combines a variety of sensed inputs and a priori information and is used to generate on-road and off-road autonomous driving behaviors. The system is designed in accordance with the principles of the 4D/RCS arc ...

95. Evaluating Knowledge and Representation for Intelligent Control
Published: 9/4/2001
Authors: Elena R Messina, John Evans, James S. Dr. Albus
Abstract: Knowledge and the way it is represented have a tremendous impact on the capabilities and performance of intelligent systems. There is evidence from studies of human cognitive functions that experts use multiple representations in problem solving t ...
