Multi-Robot Decision Making Using Coordination Graphs

摘要

Within a group of cooperating agents the decision making of an individual agent depends on the actions of the other agents. In dynamic environments, these dependencies will change rapidly as a result of the continuously changing state. Via a context-specific decomposition of the problem into smaller subproblems, coordination graphs o#er scalable solutions to the problem of multiagent decision making. We will apply coordination graphs to the continuous domain by assigning roles to the agents and then coordinating the di#erent roles. Finally, we will demonstrate this method in the RoboCup soccer simulation domain.
