We consider the online convex optimization (OCO) problem with quadratic and linear switching cost when at time t only gradient information for functions fτ, τ 16(Lµ+5) for the quadratic switching cost, and also show the bound to be order-wise tight in terms of L, µ. In addition, we show that the competitive ratio of any online algorithm is at least max{Ω(L), Ω(pLµ )} when the switching cost is quadratic. For the linear switching cost, the competitive ratio of the OMGD algorithm is shown to depend on both the path length and the squared path length of the problem instance, in addition to L, µ, and is shown to be order-wise, the best competitive ratio any online algorithm can achieve.

Robots are increasingly being deployed in densely populated environments, such as homes, hotels, and office buildings, where they rely on explicit instructions from humans to perform tasks. However, complex tasks often require multiple instructions and prolonged monitoring, which can be time-consuming and demanding for users. Despite this, there is limited research on enabling robots to autonomously generate tasks based on real-life scenarios. Advanced intelligence necessitates robots to autonomously observe and analyze their environment and then generate tasks autonomously to fulfill human requirements without explicit commands. To address this gap, we propose the autonomous generation of navigation tasks using natural language dialogues. Specifically, a robot autonomously generates tasks by analyzing dialogues involving multiple persons in a real office environment to facilitate the completion of item transportation between various *** propose the leveraging of a large language model(LLM) through chain-of-thought prompting to generate a navigation sequence for a robot from dialogues. We also construct a benchmark dataset consisting of 625 multiperson dialogues using the generation capability of LLMs. Evaluation results and real-world experiments in an office building demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
