A distributed task planning method for autonomous agents in a FMS
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an approach of a distributed planning method to solve dynamically some typical tasks of a production planning system in a exible manufacturing system (FMS) at control level without using a xed central component during planning and execution of orders received by one or several production planning systems above the control level. To achieve this, a exible manufacturing system has been modelled as a multi-agent system , while the planning method we present uses the structure of manufacturing plans to coordinate properly their activities through negotiation among the agents. This has been implemented and tested in an object-oriented simulation environment .

Distributed Negotiation-Based Task Planning for a Flexible Manufacturing Environment
In a exible manufacturing environment a group of autonomous agents such as autonomous mobile robots and intelligent manufacturing units is supposed to cooperate and avoid bad interaction. Thus they must have the capability to build a common multi-agent plan through detailed adequate agreements and take into consideration the group goals as well as those of the individual agents. We present an a...
متن کاملAn architecture for distributed cooperative planning in a behaviour-based multi-robot system
The Architecture for Behaviour-Based Agents (ABBA) is an architecture designed to illustrate that situated agents can exhibit sophisticated planning while retaining reactivity, without resorting to hybrid architectures. In particular, unified planning for spatial and topological navigation, cooperation and communication can be achieved using an appropriate actionselection scheme. Joint-planning...

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...
متن کاملAgent-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 کاملAutonomous Planning Framework for Distributed Multiagent Robotic Systems
In this paper a creative action planning algorithm (CAPA) is presented for solving multiagent planning problems and task allocation. The distributed multiagent system taken in consideration is a system of m autonomous agents. Agents workspace contains simplified blocks which form different space structures. By employing the planning algorithm and through interaction agents allocate tasks which ...
