DESCRIPTION:Pedro U. Lima\, Professor at the Instituto Superior Tecnico\, 
 Lisboa\, Portugal\nBio: \nAssociate Professor (with "Agregação") at the 
 Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) - Lisbon Technical University (IST/UTL)\
 nMember of the Institute for Systems and Robotics at Lisbon (ISR/IST) (whe
 re he coordinates the Intelligent Robots and Systems group ) since 1994.\n
 Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institu
 te (RPI) \, Troy\, NY - USA\, (1994).\nMSc degree from IST (1989) in Elect
 rical and Computer Engineering.\nLicenciatura degree from IST (1984) in El
 ectrical and Computer Engineering.\nResearch interests: Intelligent Contro
 l Systems\, applications of Discrete Event Dynamic Systems theory and Plan
 ning Under Uncertainty to the real-time control and operation of large-sca
 le complex systems (mainly Robotics\, especially multi-robot systems)Abstr
 act:\nIn robotics\, sensing and effects of actions have associated uncerta
 inty due to several factors (e.g.\, incomplete modeling\, occlusions\, sen
 sor noise\, miscalibrations). Probability theory and decision-theoretic ap
 proaches provide relevant tools to handle modeling\, decision-making and p
 erception under uncertainty for robot systems. In this talk I will introdu
 ce recent results from the group I coordinate at the Institute for Systems
  and Robotics at IST\, Lisbon on using Bayesian inference and (partially o
 bservable) Markov decision processes to model and solve problems of cooper
 ative perception and decision-making in real systems composed of multiple 
 networked mobile robots and static sensors.
