  1. Autonomous Multiagent Systems Instructor: Peter Stone

  2. Welcome! • Please follow instructions on course web page: • Send info for class account • Get on the mailing list (Even if you’re still shopping – you can’t do the assignment without a class account.)

  3. Today • A brief introduction to autonomous agents • Details in the readings for next week • An introduction to Robocup: robot soccer world cup • Your programming assignments will be in the RoboCup simulator.

  4. Words without (accepted) definitions • Intelligence • Agent • But there are examples…. All proposed definitions include too much or leave gaps.

  5. Intelligent (autonomous) Agents • Autonomous robot • Information gathering agent • Find me the cheapest… • E-commerce agents • Decides what to buy/sell and does it • Air-traffic controller • Meeting scheduler • Computer-game-playing agent

  6. Not Intelligent Agents • Thermostat • Telephone • Answering machine • Pencil • Java object

  7. Agents vs. Objects • Agents decide what to do • Object methods are called externally • Agents react flexibly to sensory inputs

  8. My Requirement of Agents • They must sense their environment • They must decide what action to take (“think”) • They must execute the action in their environment

  9. For more on agents… • Assignment 1 readings • Written assignment (on web page) is to identify an intelligent agent not listed above and not defined in the readings • Programming assignment (on web page) is to get familiar with the RoboCup simulator • No real programming this week, but there is something to turn in.

  10. RoboCup • The rest of today is an introduction to RoboCup • A great domain for studying agents • Basis of your programming assignments • Today: video about all of RoboCup including work with real robots, diaster rescue, etc. • This class: all in the RoboCup simulator
