基于MAS(Multi-AgentSystem)的多机器人系统:协作多机器人学发展的一个重要方向

AN APPROACH TO SCIENTIFIC COOPERATIVE ROBOTICS: THROUGH MAS (MULTI-AGENT SYSTEM)

机器人的应用方式正在由部件式单元应用向系统式应用方向发展 .这是实际应用的需要 ,也是技术发展的必然趋势 ;相关技术如计算机网络技术的发展也为它的实现提供了相应支持 .多机器人协作理论问题必然也已经成为机器人学研究的一个热点 ,其中 ,分布式人工智能 ( DAI)中的多智能体 (代理 )系统 ( MAS:Multi-agentSystem)理论已引起多机器人协作理论研究者的关注 .本文即在揭示协作多机器人系统与 MAS的内在联系的基础上 ,指出基于 MAS的协作多机器人系统是协作多机器人学发展的一个重要方向 .

The application mode of robots is changing from cell to system one, which is of the need of practice as well as the evolution trend of robotics. And correlative technologies such as computer networks offer a strong support to the realization of multi robot system. Cooperative robotics has already become a most important field in robotics. Thereinto, theory concerning multi agent system (MAS), which is a branch of distributed artificial intelligence (DAI), has attracted the attention of most researchers who are angaged in cooperative robotics. And in this paper the authors pointed out based on the comparison of the two domains that it is an approach to scientific cooperative robotics for us to use the theories and methodologies in MAS for reference.
