Goals
Develop and demonstrate a port-based agent programming environment and architecture to compose, modify, and (re)configure distributed team of sensors/robots
- Create a port-based agent architecture that enables real-time modification of reactive and reflective plans
- Create agent-based algorithms and architecture that fuse multi-modal sensory information for reactive planning and enable emergent behavior
- Reduce from days to minutes (200-500X reduction) the time it takes to compose, modify, and reconfigure plans and control systems for a distributed team of robots/sensors
