| MACR Research Overview |
|
|
The MACR Laboratory projects are all related to the science and technology of finding ways to effectively design and build dynamic, distributed multiagent and cooperative robotic systems. We take a top-down, engineering approach to building such systems based on an organization-theoretic, model-driven approach. The key elements of our work are (1) a set of methods and techniques for analyzing and designing these systems, (2) a set of organization-based models upon which the system analysis, design, and implementation are based, (3) a set of generic technologies that implement the organization-base models, and (4) a set of multiagent and cooperative robotic systems used to demonstrate our approaches. The four key elements defined above are support by and integrated into the agentTool development environment. The individual projects that support this vision are listed below the figure.
