About Maxim Likhachev
Dr. Likhachev\'s general research interests lie in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. More specifically, his group studies such questions as high-dimensional planning in real-time, planning that \"learns how to plan\" based on experience, automatic generation of compact representation of planning problems, high-dimensional planning under uncertainty in real-time and others. Most of the approaches are centered around the development of new graph search algorithms for real-time planning on huge graphs, study of new graph search algorithms for learning how to search these graphs efficiently from experience and methods for learning compact graph representations of planning problems.
