Michael Brenner
I have left the research group for Foundations of Artificial Intelligence!
Michael Brenner attended Albert-Ludwigs-Universität in Freiburg, Germany, majoring in Computer Science (minor subject: Cognitive Psychology) from 1995 to 1998. In 1998 he enrolled in the DEA de Sciences Cognitives at LIMSI in Paris, France, and obtained a Master's Degree in Cognitive Science in fall 1999. He then came back to Freiburg, first as a member of the Graduate Program on Human and Machine Intelligence, then as a university assistant in the Artificial Intelligence Research Group headed by Prof. Dr. Bernhard Nebel.
Research Interests
Michael is interested in multiagent systems, AI planning, knowledge representation and human-computer interaction. His PhD work is about multiagent planning and plan execution in dynamic environments.Michael is team leader of ResQ
Freiburg, a multiagent research team
participating in the RoboCup
Rescue Simulation competition, which is part of the
international RoboCup
initiative. In 2004, ResQ Freiburg, then
co-lead by Dr. Alexander Kleiner and Michael Brenner, became world
champion in the Rescue Simulation league.
In the EU-funded project CoSy,
he is working on continual planning techniques in multiagent settings,
and collaborative planning between humans and robots.
Michael was also a member of the IPP Planning project. In 1997, IPP won the ADL track of the first international planning systems competition.
Activities
Michael was chair of the AAAI-02 Workshop on Planning with and for Multiagent Systems in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on July 28/29, 2002.He was coorganizer of the 9th German Autumn School on Cognitive Science in Freiburg, September 2000.
Michael chaired the Rescue Simulation League at RoboCup German Open 2005. He is a member of the Technical Committee of the RoboCup Rescue Simulation league of RoboCup 2005 in Osaka, Japan.
