This action funds Nicholas Andrew Johnson of the University of Minnesota to conduct a research project in the Computer and Information Science and Engineering area during the summer of 2013 at the Australian National University in Canberra, Australia. The project title is "Real-Time Learning in Multiagent Systems for Ad Hoc Robot Teams." The host scientist is Professor Bob Williamson.The capability of heterogeneous robots to work together in order to accomplish a task is greatly improved through the use of real-time learning. Robots must be able to learn efficiently in the presence of other robots that possess differing capabilities. This project develops learning robots that take into account trust, cooperation, risk, and regret in order to allow teams of ad hoc robots to work efficiently and accurately to accomplish a task.Broader impacts of an EAPSI fellowship include providing the Fellow a first-hand research experience outside the U.S.; an introduction to the science, science policy, and scientific infrastructure of the respective location; and an orientation to the society, culture and language. These activities meet the NSF goal to educate for international collaborations early in the career of its scientists, engineers, and educators, thus ensuring a globally aware U.S. scientific workforce. Furthermore, impacts of this project include advancing our understanding of the ability to coordinate teams of robots with heterogeneous capabilities; using the cooperation of the robot teams as a teaching activity for elementary children; and improving the speed, accuracy, and safety of response and limiting human endangerment in emergency situations through the use of robot teams.

该行动资助明尼苏达大学的Nicholas Andrew约翰逊于2013年夏季在澳大利亚堪培拉的澳大利亚国立大学开展计算机和信息科学与工程领域的研究项目。 该项目的标题是“实时学习的多智能体系统的特设机器人团队。“主持科学家是Bob威廉姆森教授。通过使用实时学习，异质机器人协同工作以完成任务的能力得到了极大的提高。机器人必须能够在其他拥有不同能力的机器人面前有效地学习。该项目开发的学习机器人，考虑到信任，合作，风险，和遗憾，以使特设机器人团队的工作效率和准确地完成一项任务。EAPSI奖学金的更广泛的影响，包括提供研究员在美国以外的第一手研究经验;介绍各自所在地的科学，科学政策和科学基础设施;以及社会，文化和语言的方向。 这些活动符合NSF的目标，即在科学家，工程师和教育工作者的职业生涯早期进行国际合作教育，从而确保具有全球意识的美国科学工作者。 此外，该项目的影响包括提高我们对协调具有不同能力的机器人团队的能力的理解;将机器人团队的合作用作小学儿童的教学活动;以及通过使用机器人团队来提高响应的速度，准确性和安全性并限制紧急情况下的人类危害。
