An ad hoc team setting is one in which teammates must work together to obtain a common
goal, but without any prior agreement regarding how to work together. In this abstract we …

In multiagent team settings, the agents are often given a protocol for coordinating their
actions. When such a protocol is not available, agents must engage in ad hoc teamwork to …

Ad hoc teamwork is the research problem of designing agents that can collaborate with new
teammates without prior coordination. This survey makes a two-fold contribution: First, it …

The concept of creating autonomous agents capable of exhibiting ad hoc teamwork was
recently introduced as a challenge to the AI, and specifically to the multiagent systems …

Ad hoc teamwork is the well-established research problem of designing agents that can
collaborate with new teammates without prior coordination. This survey makes a two-fold …

Robust autonomous agents should be able to cooperate with new teammates effectively by
employing ad hoc teamwork. Reasoning about ad hoc teamwork allows agents to perform …

While great strides have been made in multiagent teamwork, existing approaches typically
assume extensive information exists about teammates and how to coordinate actions. This …

When deciding which ad hoc team to join, agents are often required to consider rewards
from accomplishing tasks as well as potential benefits from learning when working with …

As autonomous agents proliferate in the real world, both in software and robotic settings,
they will increasingly need to band together for cooperative activities with previously …

A desirable goal for autonomous agents is to be able to coordinate on the fly with previously
unknown teammates. Known as “ad hoc teamwork”, enabling such a capability has been …
