  • Repeating EventMeet USC: Admission Presentation, Campus Tour, and Engineering Talk

    Fri, Dec 13, 2019

    Viterbi School of Engineering Undergraduate Admission

    Workshops & Infosessions


    This half day program is designed for prospective freshmen (HS seniors and younger) and family members. Meet USC includes an information session on the University and the Admission process, a student led walking tour of campus, and a meeting with us in the Viterbi School. During the engineering session we will discuss the curriculum, research opportunities, hands-on projects, entrepreneurial support programs, and other aspects of the engineering school. Meet USC is designed to answer all of your questions about USC, the application process, and financial aid.

    Reservations are required for Meet USC. This program occurs twice, once at 8:30 a.m. and again at 12:30 p.m.

    Please make sure to check availability and register online for the session you wish to attend. Also, remember to list an Engineering major as your "intended major" on the webform!

    Title: Task and Path Planning for Teams of Agents

    Abstract: In many real-world applications of multi-agent systems, teams of agents must assign tasks among themselves and plan collision-free paths to the task locations. The resulting coordination problems are fundamental for these multi-agent systems but, at the same time, computationally challenging, as there are often many agents and their operating time is long. We formalize two types of multi-agent coordination problems: (a) One-shot coordination problems that assign given tasks to and plan paths for a given set of agents on a given graph that models the environment. (b) Long-term coordination problems that repeatedly assign new tasks and plan paths for the agents after they finish their current tasks. We study the theoretical properties of these problems, develop algorithms for solving them, and demonstrate our algorithms using simulated and real-world agents.
