This study is carried out in order to verify if the implementation of the concept of cooperative work among two agents, that use path planners A* to obtain the shortest path (previous work of the authors) is also valid when the cooperative strategy is applied using another path planner such as the so-called GBFS (Greedy Best First Search). In this sense, this paper shows a path planning strategy that combines the capabilities of two Agents each one with its own path planner GBFS (slightly different from each other) in order to obtain the shortest path. The comparisons between paths are made by analyzing the behavior and results obtained from the agents operating in different forms: (1) Working individually; (2) Working as a team (cooperating and exchanging information). The results show that in all analyzed situations are obtained shortest traveled distances when the path planners work as a cooperative team.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
