IMPLEMENTING MULTIPLE ROBOT ARCHITECTURES USING MOBILE AGENTS

Abstract

In this paper we propose a mobile agent architecture for the remote control of multiple mobile robots (via the Internet, subject to indeterminate delay and limited bandwidth). We employ ‘intelligence’ at the remote robot side in order to facilitate efficient control. Two experiments are presented to support our architecture design, and to show how, due to its implementation in a mobile agent development environment, it is flexible adaptable and intuitive.
