Motivation Systems for Curious Design Agents

Summary

The development of computational models of motivation, including curiosity, to promote the autonomous exploration of complex design domains.

Supervisor(s)

Dr Rob Saunders

Research Location

Design Lab, at the Faculty of Architecture, Design & Planning

Program Type

Masters/PHD

Synopsis

Curious design agents are autonomous, motivated design systems capable of both problem-finding and problem-solving in complex design domains. This research project will develop computational models of curiosity, based on theory and methods from computational neuroscience and artificial intelligence, suitable for application in a wide range of design domains. In particular, it will develop a computational model of specific curiosity driven by the generation of interesting hypotheses.
