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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Robots are being deployed in an increasing variety of environments for longer periods of
time. As the number of robots grows, they will increasingly need to interact with other robots …

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

The growing use of autonomous agents in practice may require agents to cooperate as a
team in situations where they have limited prior knowledge about one another, cannot …

In ad hoc teamwork, multiple agents need to collaborate without having knowledge about
their teammates or their plans a priori. A common assumption in this research area is that …
