Modeling of Agent-based Architecture for Driving Mobile Manipulator Robots

摘要

Abstrac t―In these last few years, much of efforts were deployed to fill the gap between agent technology and methodologies of design and implementation of multi-agent systems. The Agent Unified Modeling Language (Agent UML) is the most well-known of graphical modeling languages for the description of multi-agent systems. However, and until now, it remains little applied. In this article, we are interested in the modeling of a distributed architecture for driving mobile manipulator robots. The suggested model is formalized in Agent UML from the conceptual level to the implementation level. Also, the interaction between the various agents is modeled by the use of the interaction diagrams of Agent UML (states and protocol diagrams).
