MinERS: team formation among heterogeneous agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order for multi-robot systems to efficiently assist in saving lives and infrastructures in the RoboCup Rescue Simulation, any strategy designed to allocate tasks and coordinate agents must adapt to the dynamic nature of the environment. In this work, we describe how to form teams of agents that take advantage of synergies among the different types of agents and we evaluate the effectiveness of the team configuration strategies on different maps.

Weighted synergy graphs for effective team formation with heterogeneous ad hoc agents
Previous approaches to select agents to form a team rely on single-agent capabilities, and team performance is treated as a sum of such known capabilities. Motivated by complex team formation situations, we address the problem where both single-agent capabilities may not be known upfront, e.g., as in ad hoc teams, and where team performance goes beyond single-agent capabilities and depends on t...
متن کاملModeling and learning synergy for team formation with heterogeneous agents
The performance of a team at a task depends critically on the composition of its members. There is a notion of synergy in human teams that represents how well teams work together, and we are interested in modeling synergy in multiagent teams. We focus on the problem of team formation, i.e., selecting a subset of a group of agents in order to perform a task, where each agent has its own capabili...
متن کاملTeam formation with learning agents that improve coordination
Learning agents increase their team’s performance by learning to coordinate better with their teammates, and we are interested in forming teams that contain such learning agents. In particular, we consider finite training instances for learning agents to improve their coordination before the final team is formed. We formally define the learning agents team formation problem, and focus on learni...
متن کاملDynamics of Research Team Formation in Complex Networks
Most organizations encourage the formation of teams to accomplish complicated tasks, and vice verse, effective teams could bring lots benefits and profits for organizations. Network structure plays an important role in forming teams. In this paper, we specifically study the dynamics of team formation in large research communities in which knowledge of individuals plays an important role on team...
متن کاملForming Long Term Teams to Exploit Synergies among Heterogeneous Agents
In this work, we describe how agents can take advantage of synergies among each other and increase their efficiency at accomplishing tasks by working in teams. We present different team structures for heterogeneous agents, which range from static teams that are formed upfront and never change, to dynamic teams where agents can change teams as need arises, to teams that allow only some types of ...
