Prof. Noa Agmon

Welcome

I am a Full Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Bar-Ilan University.

My research focuses on multi-robot and multi-agent systems, examining the behavior of such systems along the cooperation continuum: from fully competitive (adversarial) settings, to fully cooperative ones. In this context, I address challenges such as multi-robot planning in adversarial environments, patrol, coverage, and formation. I have a particular interest in swarm robotics, exploring how large groups of simple robots can work collaboratively to achieve complex goals (between cooperation and competition). I strive to analyze and model realistic robotic problems, seeking theoretically sound and provably optimal solutions. Additionally, I am deeply interested in the theoretical aspects of cooperative and non-cooperative multi-agent systems, particularly in areas like coalition formation and task allocation.

I lead the SMART (Swarm Multi-Agent Robot Teams) research group at Bar-Ilan University, where the group’s work spans theoretical investigations, algorithmic development, and real-world applications, with the aim of advancing the understanding and capabilities of agent and robotic systems in both cooperative and competitive environments.
