Probabilistic Framework for Sensor Management

A probabilistic sensor management framework is introduced, which maximizes the utility of sensor systems with many different sensing modalities by dynamically configuring the sensor system in the most beneficial way. For this purpose, techniques from stochastic control and Bayesian estimation are combined such that long-term effects of possible sensor configurations and stochastic uncertainties resulting from noisy measurements can be incorporated into the sensor management decisions.

Nonlinear Gaussian Filtering : Theory, Algorithms, and Applications

By restricting to Gaussian distributions, the optimal Bayesian filtering problem can be transformed into an algebraically simple form, which allows for computationally efficient algorithms. Three problem settings are discussed in this thesis: (1) filtering with Gaussians only, (2) Gaussian mixture filtering for strong nonlinearities, (3) Gaussian process filtering for purely data-driven scenarios. For each setting, efficient algorithms are derived and applied to real-world problems.

Informatics in Control, Automation and Robotics

The present book includes a set of selected papers from the fourth “International Conference on Informatics in Control Automation and Robotics” (ICINCO 2007), held at the University of Angers, France, from 9 to 12 May 2007. The conference was organized in three simultaneous tracks: “Intelligent Control Systems and Optimization”, “Robotics and Automation” and “Systems Modeling, Signal Processing and Control”. The book is based on the same structure. ICINCO 2007 received 435 paper submissions, from more than 50 different countries in all continents. From these, after a blind review process, only 52 where accepted as full papers, of which 22 were selected for inclusion in this b...

  • Publisher: Springer

The book offers a thorough introduction to machine vision. It is organized in two parts. The first part covers the image acquisition, which is the crucial component of most automated visual inspection systems. All important methods are described in great detail and are presented with a reasoned structure. The second part deals with the modeling and processing of image signals and pays particular regard to methods, which are relevant for automated visual inspection.

Work and AI 2030

In ten years, we will take working with artificial intelligence (AI) more for granted than using cell phones today. 78 recognized experts from practice and research provide deep insights and outlooks regarding the influence of AI on everyday working life in 2030, explaining with practical tips how you can prepare for this development. The 41 concise articles cover a broad spectrum in the area examined in each case. Thanks to a standardized structure, they include a summary of the status quo, concrete examples, future expectations, an overview of challenges and possible solutions, and practical tips. The volume begins with societal and ethical issues before discussing legal considerations for employers and HR professionals, as well as the administration of justice. The other chapters examine the impact of AI on the world of work in 2030 in the sectors of business, industry, mobility and logistics, medicine and pharmaceuticals, and (further) education.

Efficient Reinforcement Learning Using Gaussian Processes

This book examines Gaussian processes in both model-based reinforcement learning (RL) and inference in nonlinear dynamic systems.First, we introduce PILCO, a fully Bayesian approach for efficient RL in continuous-valued state and action spaces when no expert knowledge is available. PILCO takes model uncertainties consistently into account during long-term planning to reduce model bias. Second, we propose principled algorithms for robust filtering and smoothing in GP dynamic systems.
