Team Size: 9

​

Role: Research Assistant - Producer

​

Platforms: Unity 3D, WebGL, Photon cloud.

​

Tools: Google Docs, Google Sheets, Miro, Jira. 

​

Duration: Jan 2024 - Present

Project Goal

To probe the future of Human Machine Teaming (HMT) and develop natural, task-general human-guided ML capabilities for futuristic HMT scenarios.

​

In this particular case, there are 3 sub-goals:

  • Create a multiplayer, turn-based dungeon crawler game where an AI learns to create strategies with human teammates. (Status: Closed Beta released)

  • Successfully launch the game at the HMT Paradigm Summit hosted at the University of Boulder, Colorado.        (Status: Done)

  • Organize a hackathon at the Georgia Institute of Technology, inviting participants interested in developing AI agents for the previously launched game. (Status: Logistics Planning)

Role: Research Assistant - Producer / Programmer

​

Platforms: Unity 3D, WebGL, Photon cloud.

​

Tools: Google Docs, Google Sheets, Miro, Jira. 

​

Duration: May 2023 - August 2023 (4 months)

Project Goal

To probe the future of Human Machine Teaming (HMT) and develop natural, task-general human-guided ML capabilities for futuristic HMT scenarios.

​

In this particular case, the sub-goal was to create real-time strategy games in which an AI has to adapt to a continuous change in its environment and learn to play alongside human teammates. So, we decided to create 2 physics-based multiplayer WebGL games.
