The goal is to enable autonomous agents to band together with previously unknown teammates towards a common goal: collaboration without pre-coordination. A long-term vision for ad hoc teamwork is to enable robots or other autonomous agents to exhibit the sort of flexibility and adaptability...

Teamwork is a critical capability in multi agent envi ronments Many such environments mandate that the agents and agent teams must be persistent i e exist over long periods of time Agents in such persistent teams are bound together by their long term common interests and goals This paper focuses on exible teamwork in such per sistent teams Unfortunately while previous work has investigated exib...
