This Project Grant award of $351,512, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program, supports research at Lehigh University focused on enabling effective integration of learning-enabled automated agents, such as self-driving vehicles and robotic assistants, into complex planning and decision-making frameworks.

The key objectives of the 5-year project are to: 1) develop a formal framework for describing, reasoning about, and learning the capabilities and performance of learning-enabled agents; 2) create planning methods for teams of agents that can effectively match agents to complex tasks based on contextual factors; and 3) establish mechanisms for detecting and recovering from failures during agent deployment due to errors in capturing capabilities or estimating performance. The research aims to provide formal guarantees and interpretability around agent behavior, enabling the integration of learning-based and conventional planning components to drive more effective and efficient use of these advanced automated systems across various industries.
