Description
Summary:► A multi-agent system for modeling and developing a person-following mobile robot. ► Prometheus methodology for the design of a moving robot application. ► Traceability between the concepts allows progress in the robotic application design. This paper introduces a multi-agent system (MAS) approach using the detailed process provided by Prometheus methodology for the design of a moving robot application for the detection and following of humans. Our conjecture is that complex autonomous robotic systems have to be fully modeled in their initial design stages by means of agent-based technology. The application has been completely modeled with the Prometheus Design Tool (PDT), which offers full support to Prometheus methodology. Code has been generated in the agent-oriented programming language JACK.
