Cooperation of Welfare Agents and Human

Abstract

This purpose is a cooperative work on a welfare agent robot system (i.e. a walking support robot system) which is not only in cooperation with a human but also in cooperation with each robot. To realize this cooperative work, we propose a multi-agent algorism; each robot decides own movement to make a formation (line style or circle style). We construct the system using the same robot control part made by Fuzzy Associative Memory Organizing Units Systems (FAMOUS) and Chaotic FAMOUS (CFAMOUS). This control part drives following both (1) and (2).(1) The robot determines own movement by general instructions of a human and situation of its circumference without detailed instructions of a human.(2) The robot creates new knowledge to avoid a little trouble, when the robot cannot cope with the trouble by using existing knowledge without instructions of a human.Experimental results show the effectiveness for the welfare agent robot system.
