This paper presents the IQ-ASyMTRe architecture, which is aimed to address both coalition formation and execution for tightly-coupled multirobot tasks in a single framework. Many task allocation algorithms have been previously proposed without explicitly enabling the sharing of robot capabilities. Inspired by information invariant theory, ASyMTRe was introduced which enables the sharing of sensory...
This paper describes a newly developed JAUS-based mobile robot controller achieved through the use of an i-Mode application. JAUS is an open architecture enabling the control of multiple unmanned systems. For controlling unmanned robots, we developed an i-Mode-based wireless controller that recognizes JAUS-compliant message sets suitable for simultaneous control of multiple mobile robots. The proposed...
Mobile robots can perform some of the more dangerous and laborious human tasks on Earth and throughout the solar system, many times with greater efficiency and accuracy, saving both time and resources. As we explore further away from Earth, higher levels of autonomy are also becoming more desired in such applications, one of them being distributed mapping. Smaller, less expensive mobile robots are...
A practical solution based on multi-agent protocols for the development of real-world multi-robot applications is presented. FIPA standard protocols implemented by the JADE library provide the standard functionality for a number of tasks. Robot behaviors are built upon the player middleware. Such components provide off-the-shelf tools which allow a straightforward implementation of indoor localization...
To investigate and develop unmanned vehicle systems technologies for autonomous multiagent mission platforms, we are using an indoor multivehicle testbed called real-time indoor autonomous vehicle test environment (RAVEN) to study long-duration multivehicle missions in a controlled environment. Normally, demonstrations of multivehicle coordination and control technologies require that multiple human...
In this paper we present a layered architecture for multirobot motion coordination. The purpose is to control and coordinate autonomous mobile robot with generic shapes and kinematics in a priori known environment. It is a centralized framework, where a leader robot (or a supervisor) plans the motion of all the robots and makes them moving synchronously. The architecture is layered and modularized,...
