Robot Actions Planning Algorithms in Multi-Agent System

In this paper, the basic information about multi-agent systems is given. The authors propose robot control algorithms for managing virtual autonomous warehouses, where the task performed by the robots is transportation between specific locations in the warehouse and a number of distribution points. Algorithms control the work of a single robot, including the cooperation with other robots in the environment as well as collisions avoidance. Different routing algorithms are evaluated through simulations focusing on service time and waiting time of executing tasks. The impact of the proposed algorithms on energy consumption was also checked, since this is important for the working time between battery charges.
