چکیده

This paper presents multi-goal planning for an autonomous blasthole drill used in open pit mining operations. Given a blasthole pattern to be drilled and constraints on the vehicle’s motion and orientation when drilling, we wish to compute the best order in which to drill the given pattern. Blasthole pattern drilling is an asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem with precedence constraints specifying that some holes must be drilled before others. We wish to find the minimum cost tour according to criteria that minimize the distance travelled satisfying the precedence and vehicle motion constraints. We present an iterative method for solving the blasthole sequencing problem using the combination of a Genetic Algorithm and motion planning simulations that we use to determine the true cost of travel between any two holes.

Analysis of Multi-Robots Transportation with Multi-objective PSO Algorithm in an Artificial Capital Market

In this paper, to analyze the transport of autonomous robots, an artificial Capital market is used. Capital market is considered as a pier which loading and unloading of cargo is done. Autonomous robots load and unload from the ship to the warehouse wharf or vice versa. All the robots have the ability of transporting the loads, but depending on loads and the location of unloading (or loading) a...

Distributed and Multi-Agent Planning: Challenges and Open Issues

Planning is a well known and studied field of Artificial Intelligence. Multi-Agent Planning concerns the construction of plans for a group of autonomous agents that can interact. The aim of multi-agent planning is to automatically find a solution such that, if every agent executes successfully his plan, the environment changes to a goal state. The solution can be found either by centralized or ...
