Themes:

• Data, Knowledge and Action

Interests

• Machine Learning  
• Multi-agent Systems 
• Artificial Intelligence
• Biped Locomotion

My research involves machine learning algorithms for teams of agents in dynamic environments. Applications include strategy learning, cooperative planning, autonomous decision-making and opponent modelling.  The learning algorithms have been demonstrated in NAO and Kondo robots in the real world as well as RoboCup simulations.
