Abstract

This paper presents a work in progress about the design and development of a multiagent system for an autonomous vehicle (VERDINO). This vehicle (a standard golf cart) has been provided with many different sensors and actuators. The future multiagent system is intended to manage the data provided by the sensors and act on steering orientation and brake and throttle pedals.
