Multi-agent systems & Robotics research
• Robotics research:• Multi-agent system based multi-robot system technology
enabling the widely available stand alone robots to cooperatively accomplish large tasks
• Wide experience in mobile robotics, including, highly mobile robotic platforms, their motion schema, general AI techniques and machine learning based control, high precision positioning sensors for laboratory use
• Multi-agent research: • Agent oriented software engineering
methodology MASITS and CASE tool • Practical multi-agent system applications • Multi-agent architectures, interaction protocols
• Ontologies and their usage2
The project idea
• Hard to integrate heterogeneous robotic systems and lack of reliable development frameworks
• The general idea is to bring semantics based communications into embedded multi-robot control systems to enable automatic collaboration, teaming decision making as well as data and knowledge sharing among autonomous robotic systems
• The aim of the project is to develop hardware and software solution turning regular mobile robotic systems into smart collaborative devices
Plug&Play robotic devices

Multi-agent approach
• Idea: to use multi-agent paradigm as a core technique for developing multi-robot system management software
• The main role of agents at the management level is to represent robotic systems (physical agents)
• Increases effectiveness of multi robot system management by – Tailoring heterogeneity and complexity of physical entities
– Modelling of future operation scenarios
– Behaviour optimization of the system
– Higher usability from end-user view point
