Autonomous service robots in a multi-agent based system for household and industrial environments

The project aims to establish a methodology for intelligent autonomous mobile robots with multi-agent cooperative behaviour to accomplish high-level tasks in complex dynamic environments. The driving application is intelligent and robust cleaning services in both household and industrial environments. This novel interdisciplinary project spans the fields of robotics, mechatronics and artificial intelligence. The research aims to investigate issues and establish methodologies for advanced task definition and decomposition, efficient task planning, knowledge gathering, and multi-agent cooperative behaviour with distributed intelligence. The findings will greatly improve the efficiency, productivity, and safety of robotic cleaning activities.
