Unifying Foundations for Intelligent Agents. This project aims to drive forward the development of rigorous foundations for intelligent agents. The agent framework, the expected utility principle, sequential decision theory, and the information-theoretic foundations of inductive reasoning and machine learning have already brought significant order into the previously heterogeneous scattered field of artificial intelligence.

This project aims to drive forward the development of rigorous foundations for intelligent agents. The agent framework, the expected utility principle, sequential decision theory, and the information-theoretic foundations of inductive reasoning and machine learning have already brought significant order into the previously heterogeneous scattered field of artificial intelligence. This project aims to investigate an information-theoretic approach towards a unifying foundation for intelligent agents, which has recently spawned impressive applications. The theory is expected to provide a gold standard and valuable guidance for researchers working on smart software.Read moreRead less
AI Planning: The Next Generation. This is a project in Artificial Intelligence. It aims at extending and integrating automated planning (and other forms of reasoning) with learning to produce a new generation of planning systems that are robust, safe, scalable, and trusted. These are some of the most significant issues to address to accelerate the adoption of planning systems in industry. Expected outcomes include a pipeline to learn rich symbolic planning models from narrated demonstration vide ....AI Planning: The Next Generation. This is a project in Artificial Intelligence. It aims at extending and integrating automated planning (and other forms of reasoning) with learning to produce a new generation of planning systems that are robust, safe, scalable, and trusted. These are some of the most significant issues to address to accelerate the adoption of planning systems in industry. Expected outcomes include a pipeline to learn rich symbolic planning models from narrated demonstration videos, new ways to represent, learn, and search for generalised policies that are scalable and robust, and approaches to verify and explain generalised policies. The new systems should benefit the aerospace industry by assisting humans in assembling and delivering aerospace products.Read moreRead less
Exploiting the Symmetry of Spatial Awareness for 21st Century Automation. This project aims to enable autonomous robotic systems to operate more robustly and more reliably in the complex, cluttered and dynamic environments found in real-world applications. Applying the latest understanding of symmetry in non-linear systems and control provides tools that can be used to develop new design methodologies for spatial awareness algorithms. The outcomes of this project should increase Australia's ca ....Exploiting the Symmetry of Spatial Awareness for 21st Century Automation. This project aims to enable autonomous robotic systems to operate more robustly and more reliably in the complex, cluttered and dynamic environments found in real-world applications. Applying the latest understanding of symmetry in non-linear systems and control provides tools that can be used to develop new design methodologies for spatial awareness algorithms. The outcomes of this project should increase Australia's capacity in high-tech systems and deliver world best open source code for spatial awareness problems to enable the next generation of automation in Australia.Read moreRead less
