The paper addresses the problem of information fusion in Multi-Agent System. Since the knowledge of the process state is distributed between agents, the efficiency of the task performance depends on a proper information fusion technique applied to the agents. In this paper we study the case in which each agent has its own sensing device and is able to collect information with some certainty. Since the same information can be detected by multiple agents, the global certainty about the given fact derives from the fusion of information exchanged by interconnecting agents. The key issue in the method proposed, is an assumption that each agent is able to asses its own reliability during the task performance. The method is illustrated by the pick-up-and-collection task example. The effectiveness of the method proposed is evaluated using relevant simulation experiments.

Fútbol de robots: orígenes, federaciones, ligas y horizontes de investigación

“…El control de comportamiento de los robots es realizado de manera autónoma, la comunicación entre robots es permitida, permitiendo realizar procesos de deliberación como parte de la estrategia de equipo [19]. En este tipo de arquitecturas, es necesario tener en cuenta cuestiones como fusión sensorial entre la información recibida de los diferentes agentes [20], así como la planeación de trayectorias de los robots [21]. Un ejemplo de arquitectura de este tipo de ligas es presentado en la figura.…”
