Selection of a rational architecture of multi-agent system for group control of robotic collaborative cell

Abstract

The article is aimed at selection and formation of an architecture of multi-agent factory-floor control system for groups of humans, collaborative robots and industrial equipment. They are members of robotic collaborative cell. A current solutions review was conducted, the elements of the cell were formalized as agents. Analysis of the MAS architectures showed that the coalition model is the most promising basis for the group control system architecture under development. Methods for the coalition’s formation were proposed, taking into account the specifics of agents involved in the manufacturing process.
