About this award
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command awarded a $100,000 cooperative agreement to Carnegie Mellon University under the Basic, Applied, and Advanced Research in Science and Engineering program (CFDA 12.630). The award period is from July 20, 2021 through December 19, 2022.
Under this cooperative agreement, Carnegie Mellon University will develop additional teamwork tasks and simulations to train symbiosis in human-agent teams. Researchers will learn team decision-making processes via reinforcement learning by substituting a human agent for one of the computer agents. They will compare performance of the human-agent team with human-human performance and with teams including an agent trained via imitation learning. A $25,000 sub-award was provided to the University of Pittsburgh to attend a relevant summer research summit. The work supported under this cooperative agreement aims to advance the Defense Department's mission by furthering basic and applied research in engineering and science fields with potential long-term benefits for military technology.
