Abstract:
Renewable energy storage originating from solar energy is possible in an accumulator-bank, from where the demands and utilization may be provided by robots. A novel optimal route planning algorithm is proposed in this paper that is based on the cooperation of the robots implemented as agents. The interaction between the agent-robots is learned to enhance the stability of the system, and in such a way more efficient operation can be achieved. A special model is developed for describing the operation of the multi-agent system formed by the robots, and the route planning algorithm determines the optimal route considering the cooperation of the robots in special situations. The operation and properties of the proposed algorithm is illustrated using simple examples with robots in different conflict situations.
