The Agent Institute: Develop an Infrastructure for Agent-Based Research and Development for the State of Maine

9977780 markowsky该合同为建立代理研究所（AI）提供支持，该机构有望实现自我维持，并普遍加强缅因州的研究和开发。人工智能将促进工业之间的互动，并促进计算机技术研究，特别是在机器人领域的软件开发和软硬件关系方面。将强调在极端或危险环境中的工业应用，因为基于代理的系统旨在读取/感知环境信息，做出决策，并根据感知和处理的信息采取行动。该奖励为雇用一名执行主任和一名行政助理提供最初两年的薪金支助。这些个人将负责开发一系列研讨会，旨在将对基于代理的系统感兴趣和专业知识的研究人员和开发人员聚集在一起进行合作项目。教育和推广工作也将成为人工智能使命的一部分，将这一领域的知识带给K-12教育工作者和学校，目标是鼓励学生从事基于智能体的系统和高科技领域的职业。

9977780MARKOWSKYThis award provides support to establish The Agent Institute (AI), an organization anticipated to become self-sustaining and generally enhance research and development for the State of Maine. The AI will promote interactions between industry and foster computer-technology research, specifically in software development and software-hardware relationships in the area of robotics. Industrial applications in extreme or hazardous environments will be emphasized because agent-based systems are designed to read/sense environmental information, make decisions, and take actions based on the information sensed and processed. The award provides an initial two years of salary support to hire an executive director and an administrative assistant. These individuals will be responsible for developing a series of workshops designed to bring researchers and developers with interests and expertise in agent-based systems together in collaborative projects. Education and outreach efforts will also be part of the AI's mission to bring knowledge about this area to K-12 educators and schools with the goal of encouraging students toward careers in agent-based systems and high technology in general.
