Agent-Based Open Multi-Robot System in a Network Environment

To meet the requirements for openness and agility of the multi-robot system in various advanced manufacturing patterns, a distributed agent-based open multi-robot system(DAORS) composed of multiple agents with the same hybrid configuration is devised, which combines the advantages of centralized planning and distributed planning as well as deliberative agent and reactive agent. The comfiguration and characteristics of the agent, the implementation method and the openness and robustness of the system are emphatically introduced.
