Multiagent Teleautonomous Behavioral Control

Deliver Acquire

Multiagent schema-based reactive robotic systems are complemented with the addition of a new behavior controlled by a human operator. This enables the whole society to be aaected as a group rather than forcing the operator to control each agent individually. The operator is viewed by the reactive control system as another behavior exerting his/her innuence on the society as a whole. The operato...

Peer Instruction to Assist a Teleautonomous USAR System

While the goal of Urban Search and Rescue is the autonomous mapping of a damaged building coupled with the location of human victims, artificial intelligence is not yet advanced enough to fully support such a rich and complex domain. Human teleoperation of robots is still relied upon extensively in this and many other domains, but suffers because of operator fatigue and problems with situationa...

Action selection in teleautonomous systems

Numerous generalized architectures for telerobotic systems have been proposed. Most are hard-wired in-stantiations of a speciic approach, which rarely address the interactions between human and autonomous elements of teleautonomous systems. The work described here provides a more general, easily extensi-ble and modiiable architecture. Speciic issues addressed include methods that fuse decisions...

Basic Characteristics of a Macroscopic Measure for Detecting Abnormal Changes in a Multiagent System

Multiagent application systems must deal with various changes in both the system and the system environment at runtime. Generally, such changes have undesirable negative effects on the system. To manage and control the system, it is important to observe and detect negative effects using an appropriate observation function of the system's behavior. This paper focuses on the design of this functi...
