🎉 Huge congratulations to Matteo Bettini🎉
We’re thrilled to celebrate Matteo winning the 2025 Best Dissertation Award on Multi-Robot Systems, presented by the IEEE RAS TC for Multi-Robot Systems for his thesis: “Neural diversity in multi-agent learning.” 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dfp9yG2g
Matteo’s thesis provides a comprehensive and impactful study of neural diversity in multi-agent systems, demonstrating that diversity is a previously under-explored yet fundamental factor for effective collective learning in multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL).
After a rigorous review process, his dissertation stood out for its exceptional quality, originality, and impact on the field of multi-robot systems. Within the Prorok Lab, Matteo has made several key contributions through his publications:
- When Is Diversity Rewarded in Cooperative Multi-Agent Learning? — ICLR 2026 https://lnkd.in/ejFUiwdB
- Controlling Behavioral Diversity in Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning — ICML 2024 https://lnkd.in/ef6mxCcc
An incredibly well-deserved recognition of years of hard work and research excellence — congrats, Matteo! 👏🚀
