Learning Structure, Reusability and Real-time Modeling in Teams of Autonomous Robots

Impact:

• Enables control of large-scale robot teams (10s to 100s of robots)

• Improves effectiveness of robot teams in adversarial tasks

• Enables rapid adaptability in dynamic environments

New Ideas:

• Reuse solved subproblems

• Model opponent agents

• Hierarchically distribute planning and communication

• Learn appropriate layers of abstraction for hierarchical control
