Immunity-based Autonomous Guided Vehicles Control

摘要

The human immune system is a self-organizing and highly distributed multi-agent system. These properties impart a high degree of robustness and performance that has created great interest in implementing engineering systems. This adopted engineering analogue is called Artificial Immune System (AIS). This paper presents an immunity-based control framework, which has the ability to detect changes, adapt to dynamic environment and coordinate vehicles activities for goals achievement, to deploy a fleet of AGVs for material handling in an automated warehouse. A robust and flexible automated warehousing system is achieved through the non-deterministic and fully decentralized origination of AGVs.
