CIARC: a multi-agent community for intelligent assembly robotic systems with real-time capabilities

This paper deals with the implementation of CIARC (cooperative intelligent assembly robotics system), a multi-agent system involving six agents for solving problems related to manipulation and assembly robotic tasks. The paper describes the involved agents and their architecture. An original contribution of the CIARC system, concerning multi-agent cooperation, is the submission of requests involving deadlines for task accomplishment.<
