The use of Multi-Agent Systems as a Distributed AI paradigm for Robotics is the principal
aim of our present work. In this paper we consider the needed concepts and a suitable …

We consider the experimental development of collaborating robots able to work within fields
of crops. Specifically we investigate how AI principles can be applied to this agricultural …

In the paper we present our work on design and analysis of agent cooperation in distributed
systems. The work is not completed yet, so that some parts of it, especially the formal …

In this paper we propose a unified and general mechanism for developing cooperation
protocols in multi-agent systems. The protocols are essentially speech act based but have …

Our research deals with the design and experiment of a control architecture for an
autonomous outdoor mobile robot which uses mainly vision for perception. In this case of a …

This paper proposes a Perceptual Information Infrastructure which supports robots in a real
world and realizes real-time and robust robot navigation. One of the examples is a …

The importance of agent communication for multi-agent systems is, of course, beyond any
doubt. However, the importance of research in this area seems less obvious. After several …

The Preface starts by defining distributed artificial intelligence (DAI) as a subfield of AI
concerned with distributing and coordinating knowledge and actions in multiple agent …
