twole-plan

Supporting actors involved in water resources management TwoLe Planning Engine is GNU GPLv3-covered free software for supporting Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). It provides advanced optimization (stochastic dynamic programming) and simulation engines suitable to allow Decision ... [More] Support Systems (DSS) to explore water management policies for multi-criteria water planning. The provided optimization and simulation algorithms enable the design and evaluation of water management policies even for multipurpose reservoir networks under different scenarios and goals. Such kind of mathematical support may be of great importance to allow the actors (stakeholders, decision makers, domain-experts) which are involved in the IWRM problem to move from the complexity of the IWRM modeling to the complexity of the decision problem, relying on automatic tools to explore different scenarios and goals while focusing on the effects of different water management policies. On the other hand, publicly available software for supporting IWRM decision-making can be viewed as a transparency prerequisite to provide involved actors the ability to understand the implications of the technical apparatus on decision-making and to mitigate unwanted technology-driven biases. The transparency requirements can be articulated in the very basic demand to be able to freely run the software and to study its complete and non-vague formulation (which needs the public availability of the source code) and in the possibility to correct and improve the software and release improvements to the public. Even if such possibility is usually exploitable only by competent researchers, its importance is vital to raise IWRM actors awareness about the intrinsic fallibility of technical apparatuses and to ensure them the maximum degree of dependability in relying on such software, which is achievable allowing and promoting the maximum degree of public verifiability. These requirements are satisfied only by free software, because the definition of free software is equivalent to them.

LibrePlan

LibrePlan: Open Web Planning. LibrePlan is an open source web application for project planning, monitoring and control. LibrePlan is a collaborative tool to plan, monitor and control projects and has a rich web interface which provides a desktop alike user experience. All the team members can ... [More] take part in the planning and this makes possible to have a real-time planning. It was designed thinking on a scenario where multiple projects and resources interact to carry out the work inside a company. Besides, it makes possible the communication with other company tools providing a wide set of web services to import and export data. [Less]

trex2-agent

This project is taking its roots from the same source as trex-autonomy project created by Willow Garage. The reason for creating this new project is twofold : trex-autonomy has been dead for months now since his main contributor has moved on to other professional projects this new version is ... [More] much more aligned with recent publications on TREX architecture (aamas 2010) and provide a good basis for future extensions This project is also created and maintained by MBARI engineers -- where TREX was initially designed -- with a strong desire to disseminate this agent architecture for the community. Finally while former versions of TREX were tied up to the europa-pso planner, this new version is independent of the planner that being used for the deliberation inside the reactors that are the bas [Less]

trex-autonomy

The Teleo-Reactive Executive (T-REX) is a hybrid executive combining goal-driven and event-driven behavior in a unified framework based on temporal plans and temporal planning. The wiki for TREX has moved to ros.org.

This is a collection of my software and documents related to my research in real-time motion planning.

libpgrl

LibPGThe PG library was intended to be a high-performance policy-gradient reinforcement learning library. Since the first version it has been extended to a number of value based RL algorithms, so the name is only historical. It is now a general RL library which implements, for example, natural actor ... [More] critic, and least squares policy iteration. It has been designed with large distributed RL systems in mind. It's not perfect, but it is pretty fast. API documentation and examples are provided. What libpg does NOT provide is model based planning algorithms such as value iteration, or real-time dynamic programming, or exact policy gradient. There is limited support for belief state tracking in the simulators/Cassandra/ directory (named because we use the POMDP file format created by Anthony Cassandra). One day I'd like to extend it to these situations, but that will require some uptake of the library. Project goalsProvide easy to use implementations of state-of-the-art RL algorithms for the non RL savvy, allowing immediate application to difficult industry problems. High performance, especially on multi-agent RL problems Extensible plug'n'play algorithms for research purposes Main algorithms implementedRL algorithms: SARSA QLearning Vanilla Policy-Gradient (online or batch, including line search) Natural actor-critic Least Squares TD-Q(\lambda) (for LSPI) Least Squares Policy Iteration Misc supporting algorithms: Line searches for batch mode Tikhonov Regularisation HMM based POMDP state estimation Finite history transformation [Less]

robwork

RobWork is a framework for simulation and control of robotics with emphasis on industrial robotics and their applications. Major goals of this framework: Provide a single framework for offline and online robot programming including modelling, simulation and (realtime)control of robotics Target ... [More] audience: esearchers who needs a common framework for experimental robotics tudents who wants to experiment with concepts of robotics mplementers of robot applications Dependencies: This framework uses the following 3rd party libraries: stl (C++ Standart Template Library) boost (Peer-reviewed C++ libraries) boost::ublas, for basic linear algebra LAPACK, for numerical computations OpenGL, for visualization Qt4, for user interface opcode, for collision detection RobWork use the cmake build system. Since this library uses boost, and other modern frameworks, a modern (2000+) C++ compiler like GCC 3 or Visual C++ 7 is required. Not all files are expected to compile without problems on ancient C++ compilers. RobWork Features List of features in the RobWork c++ library. Math package based on Boost/Ublas with varius mathematical constructs for calculating and describing 3d kinematic scenes and other robot specific stuff. Loading and visualising of devices with a variety of kinematic structures (SerialDevice, TreeDevice, ParallelDevice, MobileDevice). General iterative forward and inverse kinematics for all types of devices. [Less]
