There are many multi-objective planning problems in emergency decision-making domain. HTN planners were widely used in emergency decision-making, while they have limited ability to solve optimization, especially multi-objective optimization. Aimed to handling multi-objective in HTN planners, this paper proposes a novel method based on SHOP2, which is a domain-independent state-based forward HTN planner. The method uses a weighted vector to mirror the decision maker's performance for various objectives and an anytime search algorithm to improve the ability to find the best solution plan. Finally, a case of emergency evacuation is given to testify the effectiveness of the method.

This paper investigates the consensus problem for a set of nonlinear multi-agent systems with nonlinear interconnections. First, in order to reduce the communication burden in the multi-agent network, a distributed event-triggered consensus control is designed by taking into account the effect of the nonlinear interconnections. Then, based on the Lyapunov functional method and the Kronecker product technique, sufficient conditions are obtained to guarantee the consensus in the form of linear matrix inequality (LMI). Finally, a simulation example is proposed to illustrate the effectiveness of the developed theory.

image-based visual servoing can be used to efficiently control the motion of robot manipulators. When the initial and the desired configurations are distant, however, as pointed out by many researchers, such a control approach can suffer from the convergence and stability problems due to its local properties. By specifying adequate image feature trajectories to be followed in the image, we can take advantage of the local convergence and stability of image-based visual servoing to avoid these problems. Hence, path planning in the image space has been an active research topic in robotics in recent years. However, almost all of the related results are established for the case of camera-in-hand configuration. In this paper, we propose an uncalibrated visual path planning algorithm for the case of fixed-camera configuration. This algorithm computes the trajectories of image features directly in the projective space such that they are compatible with rigid body motion. By decomposing the projective representations of the rotation and the translation into their respective canonical forms, we can easily interpolate their paths in the projective space. Then, the trajectories of image features in the image plane can be generated via projective paths. In this way, the knowledge of feature point structures and camera intrinsic parameters are not required. To validate the feasibility and performance of the proposed algorithm, simulation results based on the puma560 robot manipulator are given in this paper.

This paper is concerned with the consensus problem for a class of Lipschitz nonlinear agents with Markov switching topologies and time-varying delays. The distributed event-triggered consensus control with an adaptive law in adjusting the coupling weights between neighboring agents is designed, which can not only guarantee the consensus performance in the mean square sense but also reduce the communication burden since the introduction of the event-triggered communication scheme. Different from the traditional event-triggers in the existing references, the parameter of the event-trigger in this paper is adaptively adjusted by using an adaptive law. A convincing simulation example is given to illustrate the theoretical results.

Hierarchy task network (HTN) planning, as one of AI planning approaches, has been widely used in the emergency decision making for action planning in recent years, in which domain knowledge plays an important role. The special and complicated characteristics of emergency domain knowledge make it difficult to model, hindering the application of HTN planning to emergency action plan development. Though ontology modeling can get over the difficulty, existing ontology models for the emergency domain knowledge are either incomplete or not applicable for HTN planning. This paper aims at constructing emergency domain knowledge ontology applicable for HTN planner SHOP2 which can effectively support the emergency action plan development. An approach of translating an emergency domain knowledge model into a SHOP2 domain is also discussed in the paper. Finally an implementation of our work is roughly introduced.

This paper investigates distributed leader-following swarm of heterogeneous multi-agent systems. Comparing with the existing works on leader-following swarm of homogeneous multi-agent systems, this paper is much more approaching the practical situation because the agents have different dynamics. We show that the heterogeneous followers will gather with a certain error lever under some assumptions and conditions. The stability properties have been proven by theoretical analysis and verified via numerical simulation. The stability of the heterogeneous multi-agent systems has been achieved based on matrix theory and the Lyapunov stability theorem. Numerical simulation is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical result.

This paper investigates distributed leader-following swarm stability of heterogeneous multi-agent systems with periodically intermittent control. We assume that the agents in the network are nonidentical and the coupling matrix is balanced. Each heterogeneous follower is assumed to obtain some information from the leader and the neighbors only on a series of periodically time intervals. We show that the system will be exponentially stable. The stability properties are proved via theoretical analysis and verified via numerical simulations. The stability of the heterogeneous multi-agent systems is proved based on matrix theory and the Lyapunov stability theorem. A numerical example is shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical result.
