主 题:Unmanned aerial vehicle Multi-agent system Adjustable autonomy Autonomous agent
摘 要:Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to propose a layered adjustable autonomy(LAA)as a dynamically adjustable autonomy model for a multi-agent *** is mainly used to efficiently manage humans’and agents’shared control of autonomous systems and maintain humans’global control over the ***/methodology/approach–The authors apply the LAA model in an agent-based autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)*** UAV system implementation consists of two parts:software and *** software part represents the controller and the cognitive,and the hardware represents the computing machinery and the actuator of the UAV *** UAV system performs three experimental scenarios of dance,surveillance and search *** selected scenarios demonstrate different behaviors in order to create a suitable test plan and ensure significant ***–The results of the UAV system tests prove that segregating the autonomy of a system as multidimensional and adjustable layers enables humans and/or agents to perform actions at convenient autonomy ***,reducing the adjustable autonomy drawbacks of constraining the autonomy of the agents,increasing humans’workload and exposing the system to ***/value–The application of the LAA model in a UAV manifests the significance of implementing dynamic adjustable *** the autonomy within three phases of agents run cycle(taskselection,actions-selection and actions-execution)is an original idea that aims to direct agents’autonomy toward performance *** agents’abilities are well exploited when an incompetent agent switches with a more competent one.
