Multi-Agent Cooperation for Advanced Teleoperation of an Industrial Forklift in Real-Time Environment

  • Conference paper
Advances on Practical Applications of Agents and Multiagent Systems

Abstract

The creation of a multi-agent system that allows an advanced teleoperation of the movement of an industrial forklift, its fork and the control of an onboard pan-tilt-zoom camera is described in this paper. The developed agents, that fall into an AuRA architecture, have been integrated into the Mission Lab platform. Thus, they take advantage of the communication and agents cooperation capabilities which are provided by this framework.
