Research on Autonomous Agents

这项研究关注的是发展自主， 合作的、自适应的计算代理。 预计 这项研究的应用是在控制移动的机器人 能够执行交付、维护和/或建造 任务和代理收集和操纵符号 通过计算机网络获取信息。 研究将集中在 有限时间动作计算和学习机制， 将这些组件组合成能够起作用的集成代理， 在动态的、不确定的环境中合作。

This research is concerned with developing autonomous, cooperating, adaptive computational agents. Expected applications of this research are in the control of mobile robots capable of performing delivery, maintenance, and/or construction tasks and of agents that gather and manipulate symbolic information over comuter networks. The research will concentrate on bounded-time action computation and learning mechanisms and on combining these components in integrated agents able to function cooperatively in dynamic, uncertain environments.
