artificial intelligence, planning, and robot soccer

• Human-Robot Interaction Group - We are interested in many aspects of human-robot interaction related to how humans and robots can work safely and effectively together.
• MultiRobot Lab - We are interested in the challenges of building teams of intelligent agents -- simulated agents and mobile robots -- that cooperate, observe the world, reason, act, and learn!
• TechBridgeWorld - TechBridgeWorld innovates and implements technology solutions to meet sustainable development needs around the world.

• Mobile Autonomous Robot Software - Develop complete, effective and scalable software for autonomous robot teams. Demonstrate robot teams with integrated action, perception, reasoning, communication and cooperative strategies that solve complex multiagent tasks.
• Reflective Agents with Distributed Adaptive Reasoning - The focus of the RADAR project is to build a cognitive assistant that embodies machine learning technology that is able to function without requiring expert tuning or specially trained users.
• Robotic Soccer - The RoboSoccer project develops collaboration among multiple autonomous agents.
• Treasure Hunt: Pickup Teams - We are developing a single heterogeneous human-robot team capable of effectively locating objects of interest (treasure) spread over a complex, previously unknown environment.
