• Authors: James Chao, Wiktor Piotrowski, Mitch Manzanares, Douglas S. Lange
• Abstract summary: Novelty is an unexpected phenomenon that can alter the core characteristics, composition, and dynamics of the environment. Previous studies show that novelty has catastrophic impact on agent performance. In this work, we demonstrate that a domain-independent AI agent can be adapted to successfully perform and reason with novelty in realistic high-fidelity simulator of the military domain.

• Abstract: Autonomous agents acting in real-world environments often need to reason with unknown novelties interfering with their plan execution. Novelty is an unexpected phenomenon that can alter the core characteristics, composition, and dynamics of the environment. Novelty can occur at any time in any sufficiently complex environment without any prior notice or explanation. Previous studies show that novelty has catastrophic impact on agent performance. Intelligent agents reason with an internal model of the world to understand the intricacies of their environment and to successfully execute their plans. The introduction of novelty into the environment usually renders their internal model inaccurate and the generated plans no longer applicable. Novelty is particularly prevalent in the real world where domain-specific and even predicted novelty-specific approaches are used to mitigate the novelty's impact. In this work, we demonstrate that a domain-independent AI agent designed to detect, characterize, and accommodate novelty in smaller-scope physics-based games such as Angry Birds and Cartpole can be adapted to successfully perform and reason with novelty in realistic high-fidelity simulator of the military domain.

  Egocentric Planning is an innovative approach that combines symbolic planning and Object-oriented POMDPs to solve tasks in complex environments. We evaluated our approach in ALFRED, a simulated environment designed for domestic tasks, and demonstrated its high scalability. Our method requires reliable perception and the specification or learning of a symbolic description of the preconditions and effects of the agent's actions.

  We propose a combined task and motion planning approach to optimize sequencing, assignment, and execution of tasks.

We demonstrate the approach effectiveness in a collaborative manufacturing scenario, in which a robotic arm and a human worker shall assemble a mosaic.

  Behavioural agents must generalize across a variety of environments and objectives over time. We use genetic programming to evolve highly-generalized agents capable of operating in six unique environments from the control literature. We show that emergent hierarchical structure in the evolving programs leads to multi-task agents that succeed by performing a temporal decomposition and encoding of the problem environments in memory.
