An autonomous mizusumachi system

Abstract: A multi-agent, autonomous mizusumashi system for an industrial plant comprising three different assembly-lines. In this work, each robot, or agent, must transport materials from downstream processes to upstream ones. Both the demand and availability of resources are stochastic. The proposed project has three major goals: 1) to evaluate the impact of the number of Robots/Agents on the overall system performance; 2) to compare and assess which model of agency (Cooperative or Free-Agent) produces better results; 3) to determine which Ratio of Personalities should one rely on in order to improve the overall system performance.
