Using Discrete Event Simulation to Model Multi-Robot Multi-Operator Teamwork

Using Discrete Event Simulation to Model Multi-Robot Multi-Operator Teamwork

With the increasing need for teams of operators in controlling multiple robots, it is important to understand how to construct the team and support team processes. While running experiments can be time consuming and expensive, the use of simulation models is an alternative method. In this study, we built a discrete event simulation model that represents multi-robot multi-operator teamwork. Prel...

A multi-modal discrete-event simulation model for military deployment

This paper introduces a logistics and transportation simulation that can be used to provide insights into potential outcomes of proposed military deployment plans. More specifically, we model a large-scale real-world military deployment planning problem (DPP) that involves planning the movement of military units from their home bases to their final destinations using different transportation as...

Topics in Multi - Robot Teamwork

In recent years there is a growing interest in multi-robots systems, where a group of N robots are working collaboratively in order to execute a given task. This thesis addresses two open challenges in multi-robot systems. The first is the challenge of deciding on which robot, out of a group of robots, should travel to a goal location, to carry out a task there. The second is the challenge of i...

Multi-agent simulation using discrete event and soft-computing methodologies

IVith tl7e emerging applications of multi-agent systems, there is aluays a need for simulation to i~ertfi the results before actual implementation. Multi-agent sintulafion provides a test bed for several soflcompziting algorithms like f i z zy logic, learning automata, evolutionary olgorithms, etc. In this paper we discuss the fusion of these saff-computing methodologies and existing tools for ...
