Description
Multi-agent robotic systems range from the idea of Mars exploration by many simple robots to the large object transfer by several robots. This book offers students and other interested readers an introduction to the fundamental of multi-agent robotics system, spanning from the hardware, software, and control architecture the field comprises. The book focusses on the object transfer’s task by multiple robots, offering a detail discussion on the development of the control algorithm based on the reactive decentralized approach for multi-agent robotics system. It synthesizes materials from such areas as robot behaviors, reactive paradigm, subsumption architecture, finite state machines and group behaviors.
Each chapter treats a different aspect of multi-agent robotic system, as the book moves from low-level to high-level details. It covers most aspects of multi-agent robotic system, including software and hardware design consideration, related technologies, and algorithm techniques.
