Development of Teamwork in Physical Agents

Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor Dr. Gal A. Kaminka that followed me every step of the way and pushed me on when I needed. Supported my research with his vast knowledge and helped me formulate my ideas into coherent research. Gal is a great research partner, an amazing friend, a superb mentor and was always a pleasure to work with. I feel deep gratitude to my MAVERICK colleagues for their contribution in excellent advices, insightful ideas and unfailing enthusiasm. Among them, I would like to thank Dan Erusalimchick for his contribution to the BITE'M experiments, building the first running version of BITE with Maintenance, and Nirom Choen Nov, for being my co-author on the Maintenance paper. We thank our Elbit Systems partners for many useful discussions and feedback: I want to thank my parents Yochi and Doron Yakir for listening to my lectures, presentations and practice talks all along the way. I think their knowledge in the field is by now substantial. Last but not least Meytal my love and wife, who was always beside me and not only tolerated the long hours at the lab but even provided snacks.
