The Goal Optimization using Learning and Decision-Making (GOLD) lab is part of the Computer Science Department at Tufts University.
The lab consists of students, robots, AIs, and babies.
We develop algorithms that enable virtual agents and robots to be good teammates to people. These algorithms infer the goals and plans of collaborative agents, negotiate different courses of action that will be acceptable to the people around them, and reason about their teammates' preferences, knowledge, and skills.
