The team of psychologists, neuroscientists, computer scientists and robotics researchers study how the brain works. After that experience I applied to the Robotics Ph.D. program. I've been impressed with everyone I've met here. The students work hard and play hard and the faculty is very available if you have questions about your research. This is my second year with the Intelligent Software Agents Group.
Software agents pull from a variety of disciplines.
That's appealing because I'm not sure what I want to work on in four years. My advisor, Katia Sycara, has a large group and I can change my area of focus but still have the same advisor. I have that freedom here. This semester I did a multi-robot system in simulation. All materials contained herein are copyright Carnegie Mellon.
