Abstract Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) has existed as a subfield of AI for less than
two decades. DAI is concerned with systems that consist of multiple independent entities that …

Multi-agent systems in complex, real-time domains require agents to act effectively both
autonomously and as part of a team. This dissertation addresses multi-agent systems …

Autonomous monitoring of infrastructure systems offers a promising alternative to manual
inspection techniques which are mostly tedious, expensive and prone to error. Robot-based …

This is a comprehensive volume on robot teams that will be the standard reference on multi-
robot systems. The volume provides not only the essentials of multi-agent robotics theory but …

Robots are showing great impact and, in recent trends, appearing in areas such as
education and entertainment. Robotic soccer is becoming more prevalent in competitions …

Robotic soccer is a challenging research domain which involves multiple agents that need
to collaborate in an adversnrlnl environment to achieve specific objectives. In this paper, we …

In complex, dynamic and uncertain environments extending from disaster rescue missions,
to future battlefields, to monitoring and surveillance tasks, to virtual training environments, to …

Most of navigation techniques with obstacle avoidance do not consider the robot orientation
at the target position. These techniques deal with the robot position only and are …

In a soccer robot game, the environment is highly competitive and dynamic. In order to work
in the dynamically changing environment, the decision-making system of a soccer robot …

How do we make concrete progress towards de-signing robots that can navigate ethically
sensitive contexts? Almost two decades after the word 'roboethics' was coined, translating …
