Title: MoRePlan: Modelling and Reformulating Planning Problems
Role: co-PI
PI: Roman Bartak
Funder: Czech Science Foundation
Years: 2018 - 2020
Goals: Develop modelling and reformulating techniques addressing "accidental complexity" in planning domain models with emphasis also to more expressive forms of planning (e.g., temporal, conformant) for making a strong impact in real-wold applications of planning.
Title: Balancing Deliberative and Reactive Behavior of Intelligent Agents
Role: PI
Funder: Czech Science Foundation
Years: 2017 - 2019
Goal: Develop a framework for balancing deliberative and reactive behavior of intelligent agents, so they can efficiently acquire their goals even in more dynamic environments.
Title: Machine Learning and Adaptation of Domain Models to Support Real Time Planning in Autonomous Systems
Role: co-I
PI: Lee McCluskey
Funder: EPSRC UK
Years: 2012 - 2016
Goals: The project aimed on designing, modelling and learning planning domain models for Oil-drilling industry. The project was done in collaboration with University of Edinburgh and Schlumberger
Title: Tactical Agentscout
Role: co-I
PI: Michal Pechoucek
Funder: US Army, CERDEC
Years: 2010 - 2011
Goals: The projects aims at investigation of problems and challenges in implementation of adversarial behavior in dynamic environments from game theoretic perspective and investigation of issues in long-term (deliberative) vs. short-term (reactive) multi-agent planning in adversarial scenarios. The empirical evaluation of the project aimed at validation in multi-agent simulations of urban warfare scenarios including heterogeneous teams composed of UAVs, VTOLs and UGVs.
Title: LeCoS: Merging machine learning with constraint satisfaction
Role: co-I
PI: Filip Zelezny
Funder: Czech Science Foundation
Years: 2008 - 2010
Goals: Use Machine Learning and Constraint Satisfaction techniques in "hard" problems (e.g. planning)
