  • D₊₊ : Structural Credit Assignment in Tightly Coupled Multiagent Domains

    Creator:
    Rahmattalabi, Aida
    Abstract:
    Autonomous multiagent teams can be used in complex exploration tasks to both expedite the exploration and improve the efficiency. However, use of multiagent systems presents additional challenges. Specifically, in domains where the agents' actions are tightly coupled, coordinating multiple agents to achieve cooperative behavior at the group level is difficult....

  • Coordination for Scalable Multiple Robot Planning Under Temporal Uncertainty

    Creator:
    Marcon dos Santos, Gilberto
    Abstract:
    This dissertation incorporates coalition formation and probabilistic planning towards a domain-independent automated planning solution scalable to multiple heterogeneous robots in complex domains. The first research direction investigates the effectiveness of Task Fusion and introduces heuristics that improve task allocation and result in better quality plans, while requiring lower computational cost...

  • Adaptive Multiagent Traffic Management for Autonomous Robotic Systems

    Creator:
    Rebhuhn, Carrie
    Abstract:
    There is growing commercial interest in the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in urban environments, specifically for package delivery applications. However, the size, complexity and sheer numbers of expected UAVs makes conventional air traffic management that relies on human air traffic controllers infeasible. To enable UAVs to safely and...

  • Learning-based Control of Experimental Hybrid Fuel Cell Power Plant

    Creator:
    Gabler, Andrew
    Abstract:
    Direct red Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) Turbine hybrid plants have the potential to dramatically increase power plant efficiency, decrease emissions, and provide fast response to transient loads. The US Department of Energy's (DOE) Hybrid Performance Project is an experimental hybrid SOFC plant, built at the National Energy Technology Laboratory...
