Multi-agent Systems

Systems Hub / Robotics and Autonomous Systems · 3 Credits

This course provides the basic theoretical knowledge about multi-agent systems (MAS). including what a MAS is, what agents are, and what are the disadvantages and advantages of such a system in different types of applications. The course will present some background knowledge in distributed problem solving (e.g., constraint satisfaction) and planning (e.g., optimization) and build on the noncooperative game theory. Equipped with the background knowledge, the course will cover learning in multiagent systems and agent communication. Formal agent topics will also be discussed, such as social choice, mechanism design, and auctions.
