Abstract: |
In this paper
we consider a task of decentralized, multi-agent patrolling of a continous outdoor terrain. We propose an algorithm that
efficiently operates under the condition of low communication throughput and
is robust to the failure of one or more patrolling agents. The solution is
based on Social Potential Fields and is easily extensible to allow other
types of behavior. We describe an agent-based simulation system and use the
obtained results to show how the patrolling algorithm should be altered to be
effective on different types of terrain. Several techniques to increase the
efficiency of patrolling are provided. |
