Abstract

The topic of this paper is a representation model for solid objects used for physical simulation purposes and for planning in a robot assembly system. The system combines analogical representation and multi-agent modelling, using a bottom-up representation for objects based on analogical agents. We call these agents analogical because they are mapped into, interact with and reason directly on the workspace representation, which is a discrete grid. The agents contain local geometrical and physical constraints and they cooperate to satisfy them while moving in the direction of an external force and interacting with other objects in the workspace. An emergent functionality of the simulation of a block moving in a complex environment is the solution to various stability problems.
