Workshop
on
Multiagent Robotic Systems trends and industrial
applications
Padova,
7 July 2003
www.robocup.org
The
workshop will focus on how agent concepts and techniques will contribute
to meeting robotics systems needs today and tomorrow. Moreover, the workshop
will discuss the multiagent systems (MAS) paradigm in the robotics field.
As generally accepted, agents are programs that sense their environment,
make decisions about how to act based on these sensations, and then execute
these actions.
Autonomous agents do all three of these steps on their own, i.e. without
a human in the loop. Multiagent systems are collections of multiple agents
that interact with one another.
Agent concepts offer higher level abstractions and mechanisms which address
issues such as knowledge representation, communication, coordination,
perception.
Multiple autonomous agents interacting in the real world are now feasible
and offer a new paradigm to study complex robotics systems, with many
actuators and sensors or composed of many robots. The multiagent paradigm
can offer design methodology also for distributed robotic systems, where
each individual robot can be simple, but many
as a team can accomplish useful tasks.
A team of robot has distinct advantages over a single robot with respect
to sensing, actuation, presence.
The workshop encourages submissions on all topics related to MAS and robotics
systems, including the following: agent-oriented modelling for robot controllers,
agent-oriented approaches to data integration for sensing and control,
agent architectures for robotics applications, the agent paradigm for
robots that operate in dynamic and uncertain environments, homogeneous
and heterogeneous multi robot teams and teamwork, multiagent learning,
the role of communication in multiagent robotic systems, multiagent mission
specification tools, formation control for teams of robots, team teleautonomy,
experiments in building and studying robots under the agent paradigm,
industrial applications
