In August this year, Lei feng’s network will be held in Shenzhen, an unprecedented global artificial intelligence and robot Innovation Conference (GAIR). To this end, we have invited the top artificial intelligence experts from around the world for domestic and foreign enterprises, researchers, institutional investors share cutting-edge technologies dry as well as market trends, if you want to join our Conference, please contact: 2020@leiphone.com.
Today, we’d like to introduce to the General Assembly one of the heavyweight guests! He got the AI almost all the honors in the field, he felt robots dancing weak burst, he’s teaching robots play football without human manipulation of the independent.
Scientists predict that around 2050 robot in a standard football ground, and humans as if it were the rules of the game contest.
Believe it or not, someone has already done. He was Oxford University’s computer science Department, Director, supervisor of DeepMind-Oxford Partnership – Michael Wooldridge (Michael Wooldridge). In his 20-year career, he won almost all honor in the field of artificial intelligence:
ACM (International Computer Society), AAAI (United States Association for artificial intelligence), EURAI (European Association for artificial intelligence), Member of Academia Europaea (European Academy of science) Member, ERC (European Research Association) members, called the talent in the field of artificial intelligence.
But in the early days of beyond handsome Wooldridge, is something that people, not much interest, much less expertise.
Until they go to college before he showed talent in the computer field, became the best student in computer science. After 1989 received his Bachelor’s degree, Wooldridge (Wooldridge) rejected the offer of a variety of well-known enterprises, decided to choose to PhD at Manchester University, but took only three years to rapidly attained a doctorate.

Then Wooldridge primitive power completely out of the body.

First a story occurred in 1997, “clearly can by face dinner, is just to by talent” of wool Deric (Wooldridge) no going it alone, he bent on wants to with Woo various artificial intelligence field of experts with research more intelligent body system, despite more intelligent body system in at of artificial intelligence field does not mature, but wool Deric still get has large European research personnel of support, shortly thereafter on founded has a non-profit research institutions–AgentLink.
You can’t underestimate the AgentLink, a seemingly humble team is the darling of the European academic community at the time, it even received the European networks framework programme funding. AgentLink is the AI researchers in the field throughout the European Union.
In 2000, Wooldridge another role–Director of the computer science Department of the University of Liverpool, became a real academic intelligence experts.
Daniel’s greatness is that they have never been to a high standard demands on themselves, Wooldridge did not give up a previous study at Liverpool University. While others are working him at work, he is still not free when others are sleeping, you could see his shadow one another in various seminars.
This pace has been maintained up to now.
Dancing robots? Weak burst
Wooldridge (Wooldridge) profile, you can see he has published more than 300 articles on intelligence and multi-agent system for academic papers, so high-yielding astounding, he of the book an introduction to multiagent systems at home and abroad has become a computer science textbook, called the godfather of multi-agent system is not much.
Here just have to dry.
Agent (English name for the Agent) first by the renowned MIT computer scientist and artificial intelligence one of the founders of Minsky proposed. Minsky is defined in a specific environment of the give it can sense the environment and flexible, autonomous entities or software to meet the design goals.
Generally speaking, agent is a human brain can think independently as substantive or procedural.
Very responsible to tell everyone, and now most of the robots are not agents at home and abroad, which means that these robots are not strictly in the sense of artificial intelligence. Give two examples familiar agents, beat Li Shishi Alpha Dog is the program agent, Ava can be called inside the movie machinery JI entities-agents.
Wooldridge multi-agent system is more complex than single-agent concept of artificial intelligence.
Multi-agent system is made up of agents collaborate with each other, you can think of these agents into independent computing modules or independent of robots, the former Division is very simple, for example, an agent responsible for the image processing, the other agent speech recognition, individual cells collaborate in order to achieve the brain function. Such systematic design advantages are obvious, it’s capable of more complex functions than single-agent, and higher stability and robustness.
If the agent is an independent robot, the situation is much more complex.
Can imagine about annual held of “robot World Cup” (Robot World Cup) of game scene, each participate in game of robot are has eyes, and double leg and brain, even also can through voice mutual communication collaborative for game, this than this year spring night hundreds of Taiwan excellent will selected o, method generation robot through distal control platform and total dance of technology complex degree to high out several level, its technology barriers of high imagined.
Wooldridge (Wooldridge) does is reduce the difficulty of collaboration between robot. While others are single-agent when he got defined in the doctoral thesis a theoretical model of multi-agent systems, and ten years are like a day, has been in the areas where this is not the mainstream work of practice.
In Wooldridge’s world, only a team of robots!
In 2006, Wooldridge received a ACM/SIGAIRT agents research award, which is the most important academic achievements in the field of multi-agent system. Now, multi agent systems have been gradually recognized, widely recognized as a leading edge technology is the trend of multi robot system.
DeepMind and Oxford School-enterprise cooperation behind
After joining the University of Liverpool’s 12th year, Wooldridge switched to the University of Oxford.
Wooldridge at the helm after the Department of computer science at the University of Oxford “exploits” triumphing, you can see from the professional ranking of world universities in recent years, Department of computer science at the University of Oxford after the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of technology) and Stanford University ranked third.
Back in 2014, artificial intelligence expert at the University of Oxford team, led by Wooldridge’s fame soon spread to the just-acquired DeepMind Google.
Being Dean Wooldridge, how can let go “plus” opportunities for Google, with just a few months ‘ time, he contributed to the DeepMind and Oxford University cooperation: Google provided a seven-digit number to the Department of computer science at the University of Oxford’s financial aid funding, while 7-bit depth of field of study at Oxford University experts become employees of Google DeepMind.

Next thing you know, DeepMind developed artificial intelligence fame–go Alpha Dog, at the University of Oxford on this matter several AI experts credited, and Wooldridge both positions, during which he has been supervisor of Oxford University and its DeepMind cooperation projects.
There’s bad news and good news now! The bad news is, because also the ERC position, Wooldridge has rarely appeared in public, even at Oxford University may not be able to meet with him; the good news is, you can be in Lei feng’s network (search for “Lei feng’s network”, public interest) August GAIR Conference zero-distance contact with an academic Daniel Oh!
