چکیده

MAPS (Multi-Agent Planning System) is a system for multi-agent coordination that has been developed in the robot soccer domain. It uses potential Ž elds to model the environment and provide directives for the robots. The key feature that enables successful coordination is the use of a shared world model. This paper describes MAPS and demonstrates it as a viable coordination system for use in multiple robot domains.

Voltage Coordination of FACTS Devices in Power Systems Using RL-Based Multi-Agent Systems

This paper describes how multi-agent system technology can be used as the underpinning platform for voltage control in power systems. In this study, some FACTS (flexible AC transmission systems) devices are properly designed to coordinate their decisions and actions in order to provide a coordinated secondary voltage control mechanism based on multi-agent theory. Each device here is modeled as ...

Variable Structure Behavioural Controller for Multi-agent Systems

In previous papers authors have considered agents as inertia-less self driven particles and designed a flocking algorithm. Application of this algorithm to agents with considerable inertial characteristics needs a behavioural controller. The controller uses the local information and helps every agent to imitate the desired behaviour as a member of the flocking frame which covers the main is...

Thinking as one: coordination of multiple mobile robots by shared representations

This paper addresses issues in developing a coordination system for mobile robots in a hostile environment. Sharing a common representation of the environment improves the ability to plan future environment states. It is difficult to make plans in hostile environments, and a robust method must be used if coordination is required between the robots to carry out their goals. The Multi-Agent Plann...

Multi-Robot Coordination in the Robot Soccer Environment

MAPS (Multi-Agent Planning system) is a system developed for multi-agent coordination developed for use in the robot soccer domain. The system operates without explicit communication of strategy between agents, relying upon observation of team members to produce meaningful coordinated behaviour. Each robot is coordinated with the others by MAPS choosing goal actions that most benefit the team. ...

A multi Agent System Based on Modified Shifting Bottleneck and Search Techniques for Job Shop Scheduling Problems

This paper presents a multi agent system for the job shop scheduling problems. The proposed system consists of initial scheduling agent, search agents, and schedule management agent. In initial scheduling agent, a modified Shifting Bottleneck is proposed. That is, an effective heuristic approach and can generate a good solution in a low computational effort. In search agents, a hybrid search ap...
