Points Of View

In a multi-agent system, the number and initial position of informed agents play a major role in the convergence of uninformed agents. In this paper, three different patterns of informed agents' initial positions are studied to see how the convergence percentage can be affected by the number of informed agents. The proposed initial locations are intuitive and inferred from the collective behavior in humans. To evaluate efficiency of the proposed methods and to compare them from different points of view, large number of computer simulations is performed and results are analyzed.

This paper presents an application of the multi-agent system approach to mobile manipulators that cooperate to achieve displacement of heavy and large objects. Therefore, the task is distributed between agents, and each agent offers and negotiates its services that help in accomplishing the mission. The multi-agent system has been developed using the oRis platform. The main components of such a system include communication and negotiation protocols. Hence we present the behavior of robots, their interaction, and their behavior toward obstacles. Computer simulations are conducted in order to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach.
