This article reports the state of advancement of the RoboCare project, which was launched in December 2002 to address the problem of providing assistance to elderly people using a combination of software, robots, intelligent sensors and humans. It addresses the creation of a multi-agent environment in which all these actors cooperate synergistically in order to provide user services. This paper details two aspects of the system in the making, namely the centralized, service-oriented supervision…

TLDR
This paper presents an extension of Hough localization which is able to deal with the global localization problem, in which the robot does not know its initial position in the environment.
Planning Trajectories in Dynamic Environments Using a Gradient Method
TLDR
An extension for a path planning method based on the LPN-algorithm that integrates the obstacle dynamics in the planning method to have better performances in very dynamic environments is proposed.
Planning with sensing, concurrency, and exogenous events: logical framework and implementation
TLDR
This paper adopts a formal framework derived from Propositional Dynamic Logics by exploiting their formal correspondence with Description Logics, and presents an extension of such a framework obtained by introducing both concurrency on primitive actions and autoepistemic operators for explicitly representing the robot’s epistemic state.
The Role of Different Solvers in Planning and Scheduling Integration
TLDR
This work shows how different solving strategies cooperate in this process by varying the degree of integration of the combined procedure, and exposes the advantage of propagating sets of partial plans rather than reasoning on sequential state space representations.
A Constraint-Based Architecture for Flexible Support to Activity Scheduling
TLDR
The O-OSCAR software architecture is a problem solving environment for complex scheduling problem that is based on a constraint-basedrep resentation and a rather sophisticated interaction module allows users to maintain control on different phases of schedule management.
Execution Monitoring and Schedule Revision for O-OSCAR : a Preliminary Report
TLDR
A Schedule Execution Monitor and Control System, capable of reactively maintaining the consistency of the schedule in spite of possible unexpected events to occur at schedule execution time is developed.
A Constraint-Based Method for Project Scheduling with Time Windows
TLDR
A heuristic algorithm for solving RCPSP/max, the resource constrained project scheduling problem with generalized precedence relations, which relies on a constraint satisfaction problem solving (CSP) search procedure, which generates a consistent set of activity start times by incrementally removing resource conflicts from an otherwise temporally feasible solution.
