AI*MAN Lab

The Delft Artificial Intelligence Lab AI*MAN, founded and being led by Anahita Jamshidnejad and Myrthe Tielman, is a collaboration between the faculties of Aerospace Engineering (group of Mathematical Decision Making) and Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Science (group of Intelligent Systems) of the Delft University of Technology.

The main focus of the research done at AI*MAN lab is on developing optimal decision making approaches for artificial agents and transparent interactions of these agents with humans.

AI*MAN Lab projects
