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