In most multiagent applications, communication is essential among agents to coordinate their actions, and thus achieve their goal. However, communication often has a related cost that affects overall system performance. In this paper, we draw inspiration from studies of epistemic planning to develop a communication model for agents that allows them to cooperate and make communication decisions effectively within a planning task. The proposed model treats a communication process as an action that modifies the epistemic state of the team. In two simulated tasks, we evaluate whether agents can cooperate effectively and achieve higher performance using communication protocol modeled in our epistemic planning framework. Based on an empirical study conducted using search and rescue tasks with different scenarios, our results show that the proposed model improved team performance across all scenarios compared with baseline models.
Multi-agent Markov Decision Processes (MMDPs) arise in a variety of applications including target tracking, control of multi-robot swarms, and multiplayer games. A key challenge in MMDPs occurs when the state and action spaces grow exponentially in t
In future intelligent transportation systems, networked vehicles coordinate with each other to achieve safe operations based on an assumption that communications among vehicles and infrastructure are reliable. Traditional methods usually deal with th
We study the problem of minimizing the resource capacity of autonomous agents cooperating to achieve a shared task. More specifically, we consider high-level planning for a team of homogeneous agents that operate under resource constraints in stochas
In multi-agent systems, complex interacting behaviors arise due to the high correlations among agents. However, previous work on modeling multi-agent interactions from demonstrations is primarily constrained by assuming the independence among policie
Agent technology, a new paradigm in software engineering, has received attention from research and industry since 1990s. However, it is still not used widely to date because it requires expertise on both programming and agent technology; gaps among r
