Keynote Speech at AIPS 2002 Workshop on Real World Planning

Multiagent Planning in Real-time Robotic Domains

Manuela M. Veloso

School of Computer Science
Carnegie Mellon University
Pittsburgh, USA

In this talk, I will introduce several real-time multi-robot domains. I will discuss the multiagent planning opportunities and difficulties that arise in terms of the need for interleaving deliberative planning and execution. I will then present a probabilistic path planning algorithm, which integrates planning, execution, and replanning in continuous domains. Discussion will be welcome comparing the issues with software agents.
