Real time constraints for decision making in mobile robotics

Abstract

Decision-making systems for mobile robots require real time constraints. Multi-agent systems are powerful to build such real time systems. We propose a tool and a methodology to design mobile robot controllers based on a multi-agent approach. A model for multi-agent specifications is presented, based on the blackboard concept with a generic control. In order to optimize and to validate this control a real time computational model is proposed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
