This paper describes an information retrieval system called NLA which analyses natural language queries. The languages used here are: English, Italian & French. The query analysis is performed in two stages: the comprehension stage, where the user's request is translated…

We develop a novel autonomous control synthesis strategy called Phase Space Navigator for the automatic synthesis of nonlinear control systems. The Phase Space Navigator generates global control laws by synthesizing flow shapes of dynamical systems and planning and navigating system…

Robotic soccer is a way of putting different developments in intelligent agents into practice, including not only problems such as multi-agent planning and coordination, but also physical problems related to vision and communication subsystems. In this work, we present the…

Sometimes, the presence of objects difficult the observation of other neighboring objects. This is because
