THE YODA ROBOT PROJECT

(The Silver Medal Winner in the Robot Competition at AAAI96)

Yoda, JEDI Master

YODA, Young Observant Discovery Agent

(See the resemblence? . . .)

The YODA project at USC/ISI consists of a group of young (and one not so young) researchers who share a passion for autonomous systems that can bootstrap their knowledge of real environments by exploration, experimentation, learning, and discovery. Our goal is to create a mobile agent that can autonomously learn from its environment based on its own actions, percepts, and missions.
