On Multi Agent Coordination in the Presence of Incomplete Information

Handling uncertainty of resource division in multi agent system using game against nature

“…In contrast to many studies [17,20,24] that present the use of the game theoretical framework in a centralized system that synchronously controls the agents' actions, the approach presented in this paper is different. The asynchronous negotiation process between agents is modeled as a game against a virtual, unreasonable player who is referred to as Nature.…”

“…Another problem that has often been reported in the literature is multi robot formation control. The key issue in this problem is to provide a coordination mechanism for individual robots that enables movement of all the robots along a given path to be obtained while keeping the formation pattern [10,19,24,25]. The successful solution for this problem is the basis for another problem that has been the subject of much research -the transportation of large and heavy objects by a number of tightly coupled and coordinated smaller transporters [16,27].…”
