Attention Paid to Intelligent Software Agents Lab
- RoboCup
Rescue US Open, Atlanta, Ga., May 7-10, 2005 --At
the RoboCup Rescue US Open, the Carnegie Mellon University
and The University Pittsburgh Team RAPTOR won 1st place
in the Advanced Mobility class, 1st place in the Advanced
Autonomy class and 3rd place in the RoboRescue League.
RAPTOR was the only team to enter robots in every round
of the competition. The RAPTOR team fielded three
robots, a Pioneer, a PER and a Tarantula, that coordinated
to search and find victims in 3 arenas of increasing difficulty.
Congratulations to Mary Koes, Anton Chechetka, and Robin
Glinton. The team is advised by Mike Lewis (U. of Pitt),
Illah Nourbakhsh (CMU), Katia Sycara (CMU). The research,
sponsored by an NSF ITR, aims at developing effective
schemes for coordinating multi-agent teams of heterogeneous
robots, software agents and people in disaster response.

Spice, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Science Editor.
Nourbakhsh and his CMU colleague Katia Sycara, along with
Michael Weiss, an information technology scientist at
the University of Pittsburgh, have received a $1.4 million,
four-year grant from the National Science Foundation to
examine how robots, humans and intelligent agents can
best work together.

Intelligent Agents,
by John Geirland, in TheFeature, Dec 11 2002. "Meanwhile,
university and corporate research labs are quietly developing
infrastructure for a new generation of wireless agents.
The Intelligent Software Agents Group at Carnegie Mellon
University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania has developed a
domain-independent toolkit for agent development called
RETSINA (as in the Greek wine). Research professor Katia
Sycara and her colleagues are building agents they hope
will keep your car safely on the road and your social
life securely on track."
- Cyber-attack
fears focus of national security forum, by Michael
Yeomans, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, October 10,
2002. One technology displayed was a new software program
from the CMU Robotics Institute designed to trip up cyber-terrorists
who attempt to shut down computer networks through so-called
"denial-of-service" attacks by changing Internet addresses
on the fly when an attack is detected. "We move the victim
out of harms way," said Joseph Giampapa of the Robotics
Institute. "It's a cat-and-mouse game."

"The idea is that high-level ontologies of web resources
can be very useful things and, here's the kicker, web
services are just a kind of web resource. Web services
are resources that, as The DAML Services Coalition puts
it, "allow one to effect some action or change in the
world, such as the sale of a product or the control of
a physical device" ("DAML-S: Semantic Markup For Web Services").
