Research interests

My primary research interest is to develop a robot learning framework that takes advantage of two aspects of human learning process; cumulative learning by means of stochastic approximation and optimal representation of previous experiences as reusable a priori knowledge. I am also interested in applying the developing robot learning framework to multi-entity collaboration that allows a set of distributed/heterogeneous entities (e.g., robots, agents, or sensors) at various capabilities to work together toward a common goal.

Research interest keywords

artificial intelligence, computational neuroscience, human-computer interaction, machine learning, multi-agent systems, natural language processing, pattern recognition, and statistics

Past Labs & Groups

Intelligent Software Agents - Here, researchers explore multi-agent planning and scheduling, multi-agent learning, multi-agent negotiation, and decision support for human teams

Current Projects [Past projects]

Tartan Racing - Carnegie Mellon University is teaming with General Motors to compete in the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge.
