Robotica 2 • Robotica 2 (last year Design of MAS) • The set up will be similar to that of Robotica 1: • Theory • Practice • The task will concern more than one robot (multi-agent) BKI242: Robotica 2
Goals • Learning about • 3: Methods and techniques • Multiagent systems, communication, cooperation, …; Modal logic • 5: Paradigms • Different paradigms for cooperation in MAS; Different architectures for programming MAS • Further developing capacities • 7: Communication • Working in a team; Writing a report; Presentation of the results • 8: Research skills • Designing a MAS task; Planning of the execution of the task; Analysing and communicating results • 10: Critical capacity • Peer review of “plan van aanpak” of an other group; Discussion during the presentation day and before BKI242: Robotica 2
