Vorsitzender: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Felix Brandt Prüfer der Dissertation: 1. Univ.-Prof. Michael Beetz, Ph.D. 2. Univ.-Prof. Dr. Bernhard Nebel, Albert-Ludwigs-Universtiät Freiburg Die Dissertation wurde am 20.09.2011 bei der Technischen Universität München eingereicht und durch die Fakultät für Informatik am 14.02.2012 angenommen. Abstract Artificial Intelligence as a field concerns itself with the study and design of intelligent agents. Such agents or systems perceive their environment, reason over their accumulated perceptions and through this reasoning, derive a course of action which achieves their goals or maximizes their performance measure. In many cases this planning process boils down to a principled evaluation of potential sequences of actions by exploring the resulting anticipated situations of the agent and its environment, that is to some form of combinatorial search in an implicit graph representing the interdependencies of agent actions and potential situations. This thesis focuses on the search algorithms that implement this reasoning process for intel- ligent agents. The first part covers a novel subclass of such reasoning problems where a goal driven agent must find a sequence of actions to achieve its goal such that some value function of the sequence is closest to a reference value. Such problems occur for example in recom- mender systems and self-diagnosing agents.

  • Robot Hall of Fame® Invites Public to Vote Online for Its Next Induction Class
    Department of Media Relations Carnegie Mellon University 5000 Forbes Ave. Pittsburgh, PA 15213 412-268-2900 Fax: 412-268-6929 Contact: Byron Spice For immediate release: 412-268-9068 August 20, 2012 [email protected] Robot Hall of Fame® Invites Public To Vote Online For Its Next Induction Class Induction Ceremony Will Be Oct. 23 at Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Science Center PITTSBURGH—For the first time members of the general public will help select four robots for induction into the Robot Hall of Fame® from a slate of a dozen nominees. The new robots will be inducted in a ceremony Oct. 23, when they will take their place alongside such notables as NASA’s Mars Sojourner, Honda’s ASIMO and Star Wars’ R2-D2 and C-3PO. The Robot Hall of Fame (RHOF), created in 2003 by Carnegie Mellon University, recognizes excellence in robotics technology. It honors both the fictional robots that inspire innovation and the real robots that embody it. In 2009, it was integrated into Carnegie Science Center’s roboworld™ exhibit. “The technology and art of robotics are advancing at an increasingly rapid rate and so the Robot Hall of Fame also must evolve,” said Shirley Saldamarco, RHOF director and a faculty member at Carnegie Mellon’s Entertainment Technology Center. “As more students, workers and consumers become accustomed to robots, it seems like a natural step to give the public a voice in selecting inductees.” People can vote for one robot in each of four categories: Education & Consumer; Entertainment; Industrial & Service; and Research. The ballot is available online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/RHoFPublic.
