A Multi-agent System Architecture for Modular Robotic Mobility Aids
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a multi-agent system architecture for a modular mobility enhancement system is presented. The system consists of one or multiple mobile robotic platforms and a set of user defined application modules, such as chairs, tables multifunctional chairs etc. All these modules can be inexpensive everyday life items, that become functional when a mobile platform is properly attached to them. This way the system can act as a wheelchair, as a carrier of objects, or even as a walker.

Modular Q-learning based multi-agent cooperation for robot soccer
In a multi-agent system, action selection is important for the cooperation and coordination among agents. As the environment is dynamic and complex, modular Q-learning, which is one of the reinforcement learning schemes, is employed in assigning a proper action to an agent in the multi-agent system. The architecture of modular Q-learning consists of learning modules and a mediator module. The m...
متن کاملOn the Quantitative Assessment of Modular Multi-Agent System Architectures
A number of concerns in multi-agent systems (MAS) have a broadly-scoped impact on the system architectural decomposition, which in turn hinder the design of modular MAS architectures. These concerns inherently crosscut the boundaries of several architecture elements, such as components, connectors, and their interfaces. Typical examples of crosscutting concerns in MAS architecture include learn...

This paper proposes a cooperation protocol based on the cost-balanced strategy for the Object-Sorting Task in multi-agent robotic systems. The protocol coordinates agents for carrying objects to destinations eficiently and effectively. Each agent autonomously makes subjective optimal decision, then the coordination algorithm resolves their conflicts by balancing the load, which is measured in t...
