A Novel Modeling Method for Cooperative Multirobot Systems Using Fuzzy Timed Agent Based Petri Nets
註釋CMRS is a kind of usual manufacturing equipments in manufacturing industries. In order to model, analyze and simulate this kind of systems, this chapter proposes fuzzy timed agent based Petri net (FTAPN) on the base of FTOPN (Xu & Jia, 2005-1) and FTPN (Pedrycz & Camargo, 2003). In FTAPN, one of the active objects-- ACTALK is introduced and used as the basic agent object to model CMRS, which is a typical MAS. Every abstract object in FTOPN can be trained and reduced independently according to the modeling and analysis requirements for OO concepts supported in FTOPN. The validity of this modeling method has been used to model Brooks CMRS platform in etching tools. The FTAPN can not only model complex MAS, but also be refined into the object-oriented implementation easily. It has provided a methodology to overcome the development problems in agent-oriented software engineering. At the same time, it can also be regarded as a conceptual and practical artificial intelligence (AI) tool for integrating MAS into the mainstream practice of software development. State analysis needs to be studied in the future. An extended State Graph (Xu & Jia, 2005-2) has been proposed to analyze the state change of TOPN models. With the temporal fuzzy sets introduced into FTAPN, the certainty factor about object firing (state changing) needs to be considered in the state analysis.
