Designing agents that can cooperate with other agents as a team, without prior coordination or explicit communication, is becoming more desirable as autonomous agents become more prevalent. In my work I examine an aspect of the problem of leading teammates in an ad hoc teamwork setting, where the designed ad hoc agents lead the other teammates to a desired behavior that maximizes team utility. Specifically, I consider the problem of leading a flock of agents to some desired behavior using a subset of the flock that is comprised of ad hoc agents. I consider this problem not only theoretically, but also in a custom-designed simulator flockSim.
