Multiagent Bidding Mechanisms for Robot Qualitative Navigation

This paper explores the use of bidding mechanisms to coordinate the actions requested by a group of agents in charge of achieving the task of guiding a robot towards a specified target in an unknown environment. This approach is based on a qualitative (fuzzy) approach to landmark-based navigation.
