Towards Research on Goal Reasoning with the TAO Sandbox

Abstract

We describe our progress on instrumenting a Navy software simulator for use in the context of intelligent agent research. The Tactical Action Officer (TAO) Sandbox, developed at the University of Southern California, is used by officers to train for specific Navy missions. NRL and Knexus Research Corporation have integrated this simulator with intelligent agents using the Lightweight Integration and Evaluation Testbed (LIET), thus permitting the agent to play the role of a trainee. This will permit us to use the TAO Sandbox in our artificial intelligence research where we are currently focusing on algorithms for continuous planning that can dynamically reason about what goal should be pursued at any time during a mission. This paper briefly describes our motivation for this integration, project status involving this simulator, and future goals.
