A Path Planning Framework For Multi-Agent Robotic Systems Based On Multivariate Skew-Normal Distributions, Peter Estephan Jan 2023

A Path Planning Framework For Multi-Agent Robotic Systems Based On Multivariate Skew-Normal Distributions, Peter Estephan

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

This thesis presents a path planning framework for a very-large-scale robotic (VLSR) system in an known obstacle environment, where the time-varying distributions of agents are applied to represent the multi-agent robotic system (MARS). A novel family of the multivariate skew-normal (MVSN) distributions is proposed based on the Bernoulli random field (BRF) referred to as the Bernoulli-random-field based skew-normal (BRF-SN) distribution. The proposed distributions are applied to model the agents’ distributions in an obstacle-deployed environment, where the obstacle effect is represented by a skew function and separated from the no-obstacle agents’ distributions. First, the obstacle layout is represented by a Hilbert …


Universal Quantum Computation, Junya Kasahara Jan 2019

Universal Quantum Computation, Junya Kasahara

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

We study quantum computers and their impact on computability. First, we summarize the history of computer science. Only a few articles have determined the direction of computer science and industry despite the fact that many works have been dedicated to the present success. We choose articles by A. M. Turing and D. Deutsch, because A. M. Turing proposed the basic architecture of modern computers while D. Deutsch proposed an architecture for the next generation of computers called quantum computers. Second, we study the architecture of modern computers using Turing machines. The Turing machine has the basic design of modern computers …
