Title
An Approach based on New Coordination Mechanisms to Improve the Teamwork of Cooperative Intelligent Agents
Abstract
This paper present a novel mechanism based on a characteristic of physical agent named "degrees of situation" that aids to improve the coordination among heterogeneous intelligent agents. These systems can be represented by means of the "physical agent" paradigm. One typical implementation of physical agents is autonomous mobile cooperative robots. In our approach the physical agents have different automatic controllers to generate dynamical diversity in the team-work. Here, dynamic means dynamic temporal evolution of continuous variables of the controlled system. Therefore, the multi-agent systems can be considered as a team of heterogeneous intelligent agents with different capabilities that work together to fulfill some cooperative tasks. In particular, this paper is related to studies about how the team- work improves by the "degrees of situation" management. Result and conclusions are shown, emphasizing contributions of the approach in the improvement of the cooperative team-work.
