FMAP: Distributed cooperative multi-agent planning

Global Heuristics for Distributed Cooperative Multi-Agent Planning

Almost every planner needs good heuristics to be efficient. Heuristic planning has experienced an impressive progress over the last years thanks to the emergence of more and more powerful estimators. However, this progress has not been translated to multi-agent planning (MAP) due to the difficulty of applying classical heuristics in distributed environments. The application of local search heur...

Multi-Agent Planning for Non-Cooperative Agents

At least three major subproblems can be distinguished in a multi-agent planning problem: a task allocation problem (which agent performs which subtasks), an individual planning problem for each of the agents involved (how to ensure that the tasks allocated to me can be performed), and a plan coordination problem (how to ensure that the individual planning processes can be integrated into an ove...

Cooperative Control of Distributed Multi - Agent Systems ∗

This paper presents an approach for cooperative search by a team of distributed agents. We consider two or more agents moving in a geographic environment, cooperatively searching for targets of interest and avoiding obstacles or threats. The moving agents are equipped with sensors to view a limited region of the environment they are visiting, and are able to communicate with one another to enab...

A Distributed Online Multi-Agent Planning System

The gap between planning and execution is still an open problem that, despite several tries from members of both automated planning and autonomous agents communities, remains without a proper general-purpose solution. We aim to tackle this problem by using a framework for the development of multi-agent systems in both the decentralised multi-agent planning stages, and the execution stages, prov...
