Research 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.
