Charlie Street, Bruno Lacerda, Manuel Mühlig, Nick Hawes , "Right Place, Right Time: Proactive Multi-Robot Task Allocation Under Spatiotemporal Uncertainty", Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research, pp. 137-171, 2024.
AbstractFor many multi-robot problems, tasks are announced during execution, where task an-nouncement times and locations areuncertain. To synthesise multi-robot behaviour that isrobust to early announcements and unexpected delays, multi-robot task allocation methodsmust explicitly model the stochastic processes that govern task announcement. In this pa-per, we model task announcement using continuous-time Markov chains which predict whenand where task...

Felix Ocker, Daniel Tanneberg, Julian Eggert, Michael Gienger , "Tulip Agent – Enabling LLM-Based Agents to Use Large Tool Libraries", arXiv, 2024.
AbstractWe introduce tulip agent, an architecture for autonomous LLM-based agents with Create, Read, Update, and Delete access to a tool library containing a potentially large number of tools. In contrast to state-of-the-art implementations, tulip agent does not encode the descriptions of all available tools in the system prompt, which counts against the model's context window, or embed the entire prompt for retrieving suitable tools. Instead, the tulip ...

Antonello Ceravola , "Are Humans Intelligent", Artificial Intelligence Meetup Frankfurt, 2024.
AbstractThis talk explores the concept of intelligence, starting with a review of existing definitions and moving towards a fresh perspective on the different types of intelligence. Challenging the conventional narratives, the discussion highlights several inherent limitations of human intelligence and argues that its evolution has been relatively stagnant. Notably, the talk questions our understanding of what it means to "understand" in the first place....

AbstractThis paper presents HyperGraphOS, a significant innovation in the domain of operating systems, specifically designed to address the needs of scientific and engineering applications. This platform aims to combine model-based engineering, graph modeling, data containers, and documents, along with tools for handling computational elements. HyperGraphOS functions as an infinite workspace for creating and managing complex models represented as graphs ...
Haiyue Yuan, Ali Raza, Nikolay Matyunin, Jibesh Patra, Shujun Li , "A Graph-based Model for Vehicle-centric Data-sharing Ecosystem", 27th IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems, 2024.
AbstractThe development of technologies has prompted a paradigm shift in the automotive industry, with an increasing focus on connected services and autonomous driving capabilities. This transformation allows vehicles to be able to collect and share vast amounts of vehicle-specific and personal data. While these technological advancements offer enhanced user experiences, they also raise privacy concerns. To understand the ecosystem of data collection and...
Ahmed Sadik, Sebastian Brulin, Markus Olhofer , "CODING BY DESIGN: GPT-4 EMPOWERS AGILE MODEL DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT", MODELSWARD 2024 - The 12th International Conference on Model-Based Software and Systems Engineering, 2024.
AbstractGenerating code from a natural language using Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, seems groundbreaking. Yet, with more extensive use, it's evident that this approach has its own limitations. The inherent ambiguity of natural language proposes challenges to auto-generate synergistically structured artifacts that can be deployed. Model Driven Development (MDD) is therefore being highlighted in this research as a proper approach to overcom...

AbstractRobots are becoming increasingly pervasive in our lives, evolv- ing from security robots to service robots, and now, to social robots that build bonds and personal relationship with their human counterparts. We are witnessing a growing trend of robots being embedded within various groups and demographics. This paper presents social robots that mediate relationships between individuals, groups, and society as a whole, which we refer to as em...
