Abstract

Navigation applications have a large development base in robotics, gaming, asset tracking, networking, and more. The principle of a navigation system encompasses a number of areas (e.g. localization, path-planning, map generation, etc). This project presents a multi-agent path-planning simulation and the communication protocols designed for the agents. It describes the initial agents’ functions in the proof-of-concept of our application. The model was implemented on a mobile device in order to simulate a navigation system adapted to indoor environments. The goal of the project was a proof-of-concept of an agent-based model.
