Distributed and Dynamic Task Reallocation in Robot Organizations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Task reallocation in a multi-robot organization is a process that distributes a decomposed global task to individual robots. This process must be distributed and dynamic because it relies on critical information that can only be obtained during mission execution. This paper presents a representation for this challenging problem and proposes an algorithm that allows member robots to trade tasks and responsibilities autonomously. Preliminary results show that such an algorithm can indeed improve the efficiency of organizational performance and construct a locally optimal (hill climbing) task allocation during mission execution.

Towards Distributed and Dynamic Task Reallocation
Distributed and dynamic task reallocation in multi-robot organization is motivated by the fact that most critical information for organizational performance must be obtained during problem solving and static techniques for task allocation cannot take the dynamic information into account. This paper presents Distributed Organizational Task Network (DOTN) as a representation for the problem, and ...
متن کاملDynamic Obstacle Avoidance by Distributed Algorithm based on Reinforcement Learning (RESEARCH NOTE)
In this paper we focus on the application of reinforcement learning to obstacle avoidance in dynamic Environments in wireless sensor networks. A distributed algorithm based on reinforcement learning is developed for sensor networks to guide mobile robot through the dynamic obstacles. The sensor network models the danger of the area under coverage as obstacles, and has the property of adoption o...
متن کاملOptimal Trajectory Planning of a Box Transporter Mobile Robot
This paper aims to discuss the requirements of safe and smooth trajectory planning of transporter mobile robots to perform non-prehensile object manipulation task. In non-prehensile approach, the robot and the object must keep their grasp-less contact during manipulation task. To this end, dynamic grasp concept is employed for a box manipulation task and corresponding conditions are obtained an...

متن کاملDynamic Modeling of a Robot Manipulator for Opening the Tap Hole of an Electric Arc Furnace
The electric arc furnace (EAF) is used to produce high quality steel from steel scraps. The EAF uses plasma arc to generate heat for melting scarp or direct reduced iron (DRI). The liquid metal should be drained from the tap hole. Manual tapping operation of the EAF in the hot environment around the furnace is a potentially dangerous and time consuming task for the workers. Therefore, it is ess...
