Abstract

The paper presents a method that allows an intelligent multi-agent system to coordinate and negotiate their actions in order to achieve a common goal. Each individual agent consists of several autonomous components that allow the agent to perceive and react to its environment, to plan and execute an action, and to negotiate with other agents in an intelligent manner. A heuristic approach for conflict solution is presented, which is used for coordination of a society of independently acting agents in common environment. The application of the method is shown on an intelligent multiagent robotic system realizing complex transfer operations simultanously.
