Overview

This unit focuses on the foundations of automated planning and reasoning and their real-world applications. Autonomous agents are active agents that independently execute actions to achieve a certain goal or goals. These agents perceive their environment and reason and plan in order to effect their environment and achieve their goals. This is a very popular and highly researched AI approach and has many significant implications beyond the traditional area of AI (optimisation, robotics, scheduling, etc?). This course will give students the foundations to develop and design their own autonomous agents.
