Adaptive Intelligent Systems in the Knowledge Systems Laboratory at Stanford

The AIS project is no longer active at the KSL (June, 2003).

We are investigating adaptive intelligent systems -- AI systems that coordinate perception, reasoning and action to pursue multiple goals while functioning autonomously in dynamic environments. After spending many years investigating agents with deep knowledge and powerful reasoning capabilities, our more recent work focuses on more rounded agents that complement their intelligence with human qualities, such as identity, personality, affect, relationship, and embodiment.

Projects

Former project areas have included:

  • Virtual Theater Project -- Agents embodied as life-like characters for applications related to children, learning, communication, entertainment and the arts.
  • BB1 -- Software system for building intelligent agents
  • Guardian -- An intelligent agent for real-time monitoring of intensive-care patients.
  • AIbots -- Agents to control the behavior of mobile robots performing office tasks.
  • Patient Advocate -- Agent to consult with individuals managing their own medical conditions.
