Abstract

One of the key problems in the process of controlling the behavior of multirobot systems, is finding the proper algorithms which can generate a robust, coherent and adaptive behavior. If up to a certain (small) number of robots, the system can be easily controlled via client-server centralized architectures, the real-time capability of the communication system fails when the number of robots in the robot society grows above that threshold value. One solution to the above problem, is the use of multiagent systems. The integration process of a multirobot society with a multiagent system into a heterogeneous, scalable, redundant and flexible system becomes a necessary approach for solving some of the complex problems associated with the behavior of autonomous multirobot groups. This paper presents several studies of such a complex hybrid multirobot-multiagent system, the role that an agent plays in a distributed system, the communication mechanisms of the agent with the physical (or simulated) robot, as well as the communication protocols between the multiagent society members.
