Teams of cognitive agents with leader: how to let them some autonomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
1 Most often situated multi-agent simulations, of which platform-games are an example, uses reactive agents. This approach has limitations as soon as complex behaviours are desired. For these reasons we propose an approach using cognitive agents. They have knowledge, objectives and are able to build plans in order to achieve their goals and then execute them. In this paper we particularly address the problem of teams of cognitive agents. We chose to build teams directed by a leader. One major problem is the building of the team plan and in particular one difficulty is to find the means in order to let autonomy to the team members. This can be done if the leader builds abstract plans. We present in this article a solution to this problem.

متن کاملImplementing Collective Obligations in Human-Agent Teams Using KAoS Policies
Obligations can apply to individuals, either severally or collectively. When applied severally, each individual or member of a team is independently responsible to fulfill the obligation. When applied collectively, it is the group as a whole that becomes responsible, with individual members sharing the obligation. In this paper, we present several variations of teamwork models involving the per...
متن کاملFighting Fire with Agents
In this paper we propose a model for coordinating teams of computational agents. This model is especially aimed for coordinating agents performing in a simulated environment of forest firefighting, although it may be used in other domains. We will start by introducing the Pyrosim platform where we are carrying out our experiments. Pyrosim is a tool developed in our laboratory that simulates a f...
متن کاملSolving the Multiagent Selection and Scheduling Problem
My work focuses on building computational agents that assist people in managing their activities in environments in which tempo and complexity outstrip people’s cognitive capacity, such as in coordinating rescue teams in the aftermath of a disaster, or in helping people with dementia manage their everyday lives. A critical challenge faced in such environments is not only that individuals must f...
متن کاملToward Human - Multiagent Teams
One of the most fundamental challenges of building a human-multiagent team is adjustable autonomy, a process in which the control over team decisions is dynamically transferred between humans and agents. This thesis studies adjustable autonomy in the context of a human interacting with a team of agents and focuses on four issues that arise when addressing this team-level adjustable autonomy pro...
