Opis

Autonomous systems can manage uncertainty better than humans, but autonomous systems can also fail. Perturbations against a team may clarify context; e.g., a competition between teams. But modeling perturbations, especially between multiple autonomous hybrid human-machine-robot systems, is a challenges address in this book.

O autorze

William Lawless, as an engineer, in 1983, Lawless blew the whistle on Department of Energy’s mismanagement of radioactive wastes. For his PhD, he studied the causes of mistakes by organizations with world-class scientists and engineers. Afterwards, DOE invited him onto its citizen advisory board at its Savannah River Site where he co-authored numerous recommendations on the site’s clean-up. In his research on mathematical metrics for teams, he has published two co-edited books on AI, and over 200 articles, book chapters and peer-reviewed proceedings. He has co-organized eight AAAI symposia at Stanford (e.g., in 2018: Artificial Intelligence for the Internet of Everything).

Ranjeev Mittu, is a Branch Head for the Information Management and Decision Architectures Branch within the Information Technology Division at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory.　 He is the Section Head of Intelligent Decision Support Section which develops novel decision support systems through applying technologies from the AI, multi-agent systems and web services. He brings a strong background in transitioning R&D solutions to the operational community, demonstrated through his current sponsors including DARPA, OSD/NII, NSA, USTRANSCOM and ONR.　 He has authored 2 books, 5 book chapters, and numerous conference publications.　　 He has an MS in Electrical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University.　

Donald (Don) Sofge　is a Computer Scientist and　Roboticist at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) with 30 years of　experience in Artificial Intelligence and　Control Systems R&D. He has　served as PI/Co-PI on dozens of federally funded R&D programs and has　authored/co-authored approximately 110 peer-reviewed publications,　including　several edited books, many journal articles, and several conference　proceedings. Don leads the Distributed Autonomous Systems Group at NRL where he　develops　nature-inspired computing solutions to challenging problems in　sensing, artificial intelligence, and control of autonomous robotic systems.　His current research focuses　on control of autonomous teams or swarms of robotic　systems.
