Project description
With the increasing integration of intelligent systems in human life, it’s urgent to investigate control, optimization, and learning systems coupling with strategic/human agents. Examples of such systems range from transportation systems to human-robot teaming, smart grids, and federated learning. In these mixed-autonomy systems, the human agents, rational and self-interest, actively participate in and significantly influence the operations and dynamics of the systems. To ensure the accuracy and efficiency of these systems, it needs an incentive-driven scheme to motivate and regulate the strategic agents, such that they behave in a voluntary, authentic, and non-malicious way. This doctoral project will target this challenge by studying games and mechanism design in control, optimization, and data exchange among a network of strategic agents. The project will span theory, algorithms, as well as applications in the related fields.
