In the near future, container ports will no longer be able to expand into the surrounding land
and will thus be unable to meet the storage requirements due to the boom in world trade. A …

Decentralized control of an autonomous automated guided vehicle system (AGVS) used for
material handling is expected to lead to high system flexibility and robustness. A complete …

This paper presents a navigation methodology for decentralized autonomous automated
guided vehicles used for material handling. The navigation methodology is based on …

Our approach in proposing the plan-merging paradigm as a cooperation scheme was to
allow an efficient distribution of the decisions for a better reactivity to contingencies for multi …

We present an agent-based coalition formation approach for disaster response applications.
We assume that agents are operating in a dynamic and dangerous environment, and they …

We propose a self-stabilizing marching algorithm for a group of oblivious robots in an
obstacle-free workplace. To this end, we develop a distributed algorithm for a group of …

• Tipos de robot. Dependiendo de los tipos de robots que los forman, los sistemas
multirrobot podrían clasificarse en tres grandes grupos. Por una parte, los sistemas …

We consider the problem of moving a pair of omnidirectional robots carrying a ladder
between start and goal positions in an obstacle-free plane as quickly as possible, using a …

Apres avoir obtenu un diplôme d'ingénieur de l'ENSI de Caen, option “Informatique et
Intelligence Artificielle”, et le DEA “Intelligence Artificielle” de l'Université de Caen en 1990 …

Consider two omnidirectional robots carrying a ladder, one at each end, in the plane without
obstacles. Given start and goal positions of the ladder, what is a time-optimal motion of the …
