The Adaptive Systems Section conducts state-of-the-art basic and applied research in machine learning, autonomy, and mobile robotics.

Our emphasis is on techniques that allow systems to:

• change their level of autonomy on the fly based on the situation and the current interactions with users,
• adapt to changes in their environment and to changes in their own capabilities,
• learn new behaviors through interaction with the world, and
• interact more naturally with humans.
  

Applications include autonomous vehicles (including underwater, surface, ground, and air vehicles, and mobile robots), intelligent decision aids, lessons learned systems, and command and control systems.
