Creating autonomous agents capable of cooperating with previously unfamiliar teammates,
known as “ad hoc teamwork”, has been identified as an important challenge for multiagent …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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

Ad hoc teamwork is a decentralized multi-agent problem in which agents must collaborate
online without pre-coordination. An interesting challenge in ad hoc teammate design is …

When performing collaborative tasks with new unknown teammates, humans are particularly
adept at adapting to their collaborator and converging toward an aligned strategy. However …

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 …

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 …

We consider the problem of distributed collaboration among multiple agents in an ad hoc
setting. We have analyzed this problem within a multiagent task execution scenario, in which …
