Research on Autonomous Agents

该奖项是对之前的计算机系统研究奖的基于成就的续展，该研究奖对其环境进行感知和建模，并在该环境中采取行动以实现和维护管理下的目标，但不是由人类一步一步地进行详细监督。这些计算机系统可能是机器人，也可能只是一些软件，它们被称为自主代理。在这个研究计划中，重点将放在对常见情况(远程反应行为)做出适当反应、关注多个目标、计划和学习上。

This award is an Accomplishment-Based Renewal of a previous research award on computer systems that perceive and model their environment and take actions in that environment to achieve and maintain goals under management, but not detailed step-by-step supervision by humans. These computer systems, which might be robots or only pieces of software, are called autonomous agents. In this research program, the focus will be on reacting appropriately to commonly occurring situations (telo-reactive behavior), attention to multiple goals, planning, and learning.
