Learning objectives
The course illustrates the main issues related to the development of intelligent agents that can perceive, plan, act and interact with other agents and humans. The goal is to provide students with tools to design, apply and evaluate algorithms that allow intelligent agents to interact with the surrounding environment by performing complex tasks with a high level of autonomy. At the end of the course, students will have to demonstrate that they understand the fundamental concepts related to: i) Cooperative Artifical Intelligence and in particular optimization in multi-agent contexts; ii) Machine Learning with emphasis on Reinforcement Learning; iii) Artificial Intelligence techniques for robotic systems. Students will have to demonstrate knowledge and be able to use the main tools for the development of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. Students will also have to know the open challenges and limitations of state-of-the-art techniques for the area related to intelligent agents and multi-agent systems and have the ability to continue their studies independently by developing innovative approaches aimed at improve the state of the art.
Prerequisites and basic notions
The course has no specific requirements. For the successful completion of the course, a good knowledge in the areas of Computer Science and Mathematics is useful.
Program
i) Introduction to the broad areas of Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems and Cooperative Artificial Intelligence;
ii) algorithms and techniques to perform optimization in the context of Multi-Agent Systems (with a specific focus on Distributed Constraint Optimization approaches);
ii) techniques and methodologies to learn how to operate in uncertain and dynamic environment, with a specific focus on reinforcement learning, multi-agent reinforcement learning and safe reinforcement learning;
iii) Artificial Intelligence techniques for mobile robots and multi-robot systems (e.g., multi-robot coordination, deep reinforcement learning for robotic systems).
When and where
Lectures in classrooms and discussion of relevant articles and publications.
Learning assessment procedures
The exam can be taken by choosing between two options: i) a project that includes an experimental part focused on the techniques studied during the course; ii) an oral presentation based on state-of-the-art articles and papers that explores some of the topics studied during the course.
Assessment
To pass the exam, students will have to demonstrate that they: - have an in-depth knowledge of the area of Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems;
- are able to present the topics of the course in a precise and organic way;
- can identify the limitations and open problems related to the topics studied during the course.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The grade will be passed/failed.
