Learning Agents
Director: Peter Stone
The learning agents research group is led by Prof. Peter Stone. Our aim is to understand how we can best create complete intelligent agents. We consider both adaptation and interaction to be essential capabilites of such agents. Thus, our research focuses mainly on machine learning, multiagent systems, and robotics. Application domains include robot soccer, autonomous bidding agents, traffic management, and autonomic computing.
