Specifying Multirobot Coordination in ICPGolog
نویسنده
چکیده
Deliberation in highly-dynamic domains such as robotic soccer requires a rich representation language that can deal with continuous change, uncertainty, and multiple agents, among other things. For this purpose we have developed the language ICPGOLOG, a variant of the logic-based action language GOLOG. We show how to specify plans for soccer agents such as playing a double pass in ICPGOLOG and report on experimental results in the ROBOCUP SIMULATION league. We have also recently integrated ICPGOLOG as the high-level control language into our MID-SIZE soccer team. We discuss the software architecture and some of the differences between agent modeling in the SIMULATION and MID-SIZE league.

Constrained Exploration for Studies in Multirobot Coordination
We are interested in the challenges of long-term, long-distance tight multirobot coordination. In this paper, we discuss the Constrained Exploration domain that pushes the boundaries of tightly-coordinated multirobot teams. We formalize this problem and consider the role of intentional coordination approaches in addressing its numerous challenges. Finally, we present three intentional coordinat...
متن کاملExperiments in multirobot coordination
Consequent to previously published theoretical work by Marshall, Broucke, and Francis, this paper summarizes the apparatus and results of multirobot coordination experiments conducted at the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies. These experiments successfully demonstrated the practicality of cyclic pursuit as a distributed control strategy for multiple wheeled-robot systems. Mo...
متن کاملSocial-Aware Coordination of Multi-robot Systems Based on Institutions
Institutional robotics (IR) is an approach to the coordination of multirobot systems that draws inspiration from social sciences, namely from institutional economics. Using the concept of institution, it aims to provide a comprehensive strategy for specifying social interactions (e.g., norms, roles, hierarchies) among robots. In previous work, we have introduced a control methodology for multir...
متن کاملMarket-Based Multirobot Coordination: A Comprehensive Survey and Analysis
As robotic technology improves, we charge robots with increasingly varied and difficult tasks. Many of these tasks can potentially be completed better by a team of robots working together than by individual robots working alone. Coordination can lead to faster task completion, increased robustness, higher-quality solutions, and the completion of tasks impossible for single robots. Nevertheless,...
متن کاملTraderBots : a market-based approach for resource, role, and task allocation in multirobot coordination
The problem of efficient multirobot coordination has risen to the forefront of robotics research in recent years. Interest in this problem is motivated by the wide range of application domains demanding multirobot solutions. In general, multirobot coordination strategies assume either a centralized approach, where a single robot/agent plans for the group, or a distributed approach, where each r...
