A new architecture for multi-robot teams in market-based applications

This paper describes architecture for multi agent mobile robot systems in market-based task allocation systems. Constructing architecture for multi-agent mobile robots system is heavily studied in the literature. Also market-based task allocation has been taken considerable attention in the literature. But combining these two areas is a new subject for the researchers. In this paper, we developed architecture for market-based task allocation systems and applied to an example with three mobile robots. In the study, a mobile robot contains 5 agents; each of these agents has a unique responsibility in the system. In the study agents communicate with each other through Open Agent Architecture (OAA). Also simulations on MobileSim simulator program are conducted to show the effectiveness of the proposed architecture.
