An interactive tool for creating multi-agent systems and interactive agent-based games

چکیده
Utilizing principles from parallel and distributed processing combined with inspiration from modular robotics, we developed the modular interactive tiles. As an educational tool, the modular interactive tiles facilitate the learning of multi-agent systems and interactive agent-based games. The modular and physical property of the tiles provides students with hands-on experience in exploring the theoretical aspects underlying multi-agent systems which often appear as challenging to students. By changing the representation of the cognitive challenging aspects of multi-agent systems education to a physical (hands-on) one, the challenge may become much easier and fun to face for the students.

Integrating Agent-Based Mixed-Initiative Control with an Existing Multi-Agent Planning System
One of the less appreciated obstacles to scaling multi-agent systems is understanding the impact of the role(s) that people will play in those systems. As we try to adapt existing software tools and agent-based applications to play supportive roles in larger multi-agent systems, we must develop strategies for coordinating not only the problem solving behavior of these agent communities, but als...
متن کاملCooperative Control of Mobile Robots in Creating a Runway Platform for Quadrotor Landing
Multi-agent systems are systems in which several agents accomplish a mission in a cooperative manner. In this paper, a novel idea for the construction of a movable runway platform based on multi-agent systems is presented. It is assumed that an aerial agent (quadrotor) decides to make an emergency landing due to reasons such as a decrease in energy level or technical failure, while there is no ...
متن کاملCeptre: A Language for Modeling Generative Interactive Systems
We present a rule specification language called Ceptre, intended to enable rapid prototyping for experimental game mechanics, especially in domains that depend on procedural generation and multi-agent simulation. Ceptre can be viewed as an explication of a new methodology for understanding games based on linear logic, a formal logic concerned with resource usage. We present a correspondence bet...
متن کاملA Study on Applying Interactive Multi-objective Optimization to Multiagent Systems
Constraint optimization problems in multiagent systems have been studied as fundamental problems of decision making and resource allocation. When each agent has its own specific interest in a problem, that task is defined as a multiobjective optimization problem with asymmetric functions. Since multi-objective problems have a number of Pareto optimal solutions in general cases, a preferred solu...
متن کاملA Multi-agent Based Interactive System Towards Child's Emotion Performances Quantified Through Affective Body Gestures
Studies in cognitive science have found that interactive robots, interactive games, etc., may help the emotional development of children with mental-health problems (e.g. autistic children). It is very important with these children to show empathic behaviors and to take into account their emotion when relating to them. Current technology cannot do this because it cannot recognize the emotion of...
