Decentralized Coordination of Heterogeneous Ensembles Using Jadex

Abstract

Multi-agent systems can be a viable choice for realizing self-organizing systems consisting of reconfigurable software components. We present a real-world system consisting of heterogeneous air and ground robots whose behavior and coordination is orchestrated by a MAS in a decentralized manner. The system is able to cooperatively transport largescale measuring equipment and is used for environmental observation, such as in-situ measuring of temperature.
