Planning for Interactions among Autonomous Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
AI planning research has traditionally focused on offline planning for static single-agent environments. In environments where an agent needs to plan its interactions with other autonomous agents, planning is much more complicated, because the actions of the other agents can induce a combinatorial explosion in the number of contingencies that the planner will need to consider. This paper discusses several ways to alleviate the combinatorial explosion, and illustrates their use in several different kinds of multi-agent planning domains.

Agent-Based Planning and Control of a Multi-Manipulator Assembly System
This paper presents a distributed planning and control architecture for autonomous Multi-Manipulator Systems (MMS). The control architecture is implemented using an agent-based approach. A team of distributed and autonomous agents is deployed to model the flexible assembly system in such a way that the agents negotiate, collaborate, and cooperate to achieve the goals of assembly tasks. The main...
متن کاملEmergent Planning with Philosophical Agents
Future mission plans for the space program call for complex autonomous systems that must be able to perform with high levels of reliability. Features of proposed missions include wide-scale distribution of agents, partial observability, and interaction between large numbers of active platforms. These domain features prove to be difficult for traditional planning algorithms. We are developing a ...
متن کاملNumerical and Temporal Planning for a Multi-agent Team Acting in the Real World
Introduction. Automated planning is a central area of Artificial Intelligence which aims to design a powerful deliberation layer for autonomous intelligent systems. Autonomy of intelligent systems doesn’t concern only planning and deliberation but also acting. These two aspects are not completely disjoint: actors may deliberate or plan both before and during acting in order to perform intellige...
متن کاملCoordinating Self Interested Autonomous Planning Agents
Coordination in multi-agent planning systems aims at ensuring that the plans of the participating agents do not conflict and the individual as well as the common goals of the agents can be achieved. In the multi-agent planning literature, one can distinguish three main approaches to coordination. In the first approach coordination between the agents is established after the completion of the in...
متن کاملMAT: a Mobile Agent System for Supporting Autonomous Mobile Agents
Mobile Agent Template (MAT) is a mobile agent system that is under study and development at the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences and sponsored by the University of Wollongong, Australia. MAT is not an alternative to other mobile agent systems, but is an agent system that can provide the autonomy to mobile agents. MAT tries to support new Web applications, such as t...
