Abstract: A system and method for composing, solving and making decisions by creating a sequential decision problem concerning a network of machines.

Abstract: A system and method for projecting the likely future path of the subject of a sequential decision problem. The subject of the sequential decision problem takes an action beginning with the starting state of affairs and probabilistically transitions into other states according to the structure of the decision problem, the solution to the decision problem, possibly random events, and the decisions of the subject. The likely future path consists of a sequence of actions taken by the subject, the states the subject will likely be in after taking the projected actions, and the rewards the subject is likely to receive along the future path.

Abstract: A probe is used to inspect the health of a corner radius within an elongate internal cavity of a structure. The probe is transported through the cavity on a carriage that maintains the probe a substantially constant distance from the corner radius as the carriage traverses changes in the cross sectional shape of the cavity.
