Within our research laboratory, we develop machines that can reason and act in complex environments. Our primary research area is Automated Planning, which we complement with techniques from Machine Learning, Combinatorial Optimisation and Operations Research.

Research topics

Our main topics of interest include:

• Theory of Planning: We contribute to the theoretical foundations of Automated Planning, studying the complexity of planning problems and algorithms.
• Learning Planning Models: We develop algorithms that extract the dynamics of an observed environment to learn compact descriptions of planning tasks.
• Efficient Planning Algorithms: We design and implement scalable planning algorithms, mainly based on heuristic state-space search.
• Generalised Planning: We create methods for learning how to solve a whole class of tasks efficiently.
• Planning and Reinforcement Learning: We combine the interpretability of planning with the flexibility of reinforcement learning.

In summary, we strive to create AI systems that efficiently solve intricate sequential decision-making problems, based on solid theoretical foundations and practical algorithms.
