Multi-Agent Continuous Transportation with Online Balanced Partitioning: (Extended Abstract)
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce the concept of continuous transportation task to the context of multi-agent systems. A continuous transportation task is one in which a multi-agent team visits a number of fixed locations, picks up objects, and delivers them to a transportation hub. The goal is to maximize the rate of transportation while the objects are replenished over time . In this extended abstract, we present a hybrid of centralized and distributed approaches that minimize communications in the multi-agent team. We contribute a novel online partitioning-transportation algorithm with information gathering in the multi-agent team.

متن کاملOptimal adaptive leader-follower consensus of linear multi-agent systems: Known and unknown dynamics
In this paper, the optimal adaptive leader-follower consensus of linear continuous time multi-agent systems is considered. The error dynamics of each player depends on its neighbors’ information. Detailed analysis of online optimal leader-follower consensus under known and unknown dynamics is presented. The introduced reinforcement learning-based algorithms learn online the approximate solution...

This paper deals with a multi-agent-based interval type-2 fuzzy (IT2F) expert systemfor scheduling steel continuous casting. Continuous caster scheduling is a complex and extensiveprocess that needs expert staff. In this study, a distributed multi-agent-based structure is proposed as asolution. The agents used herein can cooperate with each other via various communication protocols.To facilitat...
متن کاملA Markov Model for Multiagent Patrolling in Continuous Time
We present a model for the multiagent patrolling problem with continuous-time. An anytime and online algorithm is then described and extended to asynchronous multiagent decision processes. An online algorithm is also proposed for coordinating the agents. We finally compared our approach empirically to existing methods.
متن کاملAn Online Q-learning Based Multi-Agent LFC for a Multi-Area Multi-Source Power System Including Distributed Energy Resources
This paper presents an online two-stage Q-learning based multi-agent (MA) controller for load frequency control (LFC) in an interconnected multi-area multi-source power system integrated with distributed energy resources (DERs). The proposed control strategy consists of two stages. The first stage is employed a PID controller which its parameters are designed using sine cosine optimization (SCO...
