Research Areas

Soar Technology's key research into large-scale agents with human-level intelligence began a decade ago in conjunction with the University of Michigan's Artificial Intelligence Laboratory with support from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). This work developing training solutions for the Air Force resulted in TacAir-Soar, the most highly developed model of tactical fighter pilots in action ever created. Our work has since branched beyond pilot training applications to include several new and distinct lines of research:

Knowledge-Rich Intelligent Agents

Extending the philosophy of Tac-Air Soar, these highly capable, autonomous agents enable human-level reasoning, knowledge, and interaction in both simulated and operational environments.

Cooperative Agent Teams

Groups of knowledge-rich intelligent agents, each with unique specialties and capabilities are combined in well-defined and dynamic problem-solving teams for adaptive user interfaces and automated workflow applications.

Agent-Based Social Models

Collections of intelligent agents are used to model cultural, social, and other aspects of human or other organizations to reveal and predict emergent properties of inter-organization and cross-organization relationships.

Cognitive Research & Architectures

We pursue informed research into human behavior, performance, and error, and cognitive architectures. Of particular interest are two areas: the interaction between reasoning, knowledge and learning; and the tools and technologies that will enable better, faster, as well as cheaper, engineering knowledge-rich intelligent agent systems.
