Embedding intelligent agents to enable physical robotic and sensor organizations

The integration of multiagent systems (MAS) with organizations creates a platform to solve a number of real world problems. Extending the use of multiagent organizations to work with physical sensors and robotic systems synergizes the control ability of agents with the ability to monitor and affect physical phenomena. This research effort examines the use of agents, which are embedded into microprocessor boards, to control sensor and robotic systems. The concept introduced is the agent-on-a-chip(AOC) which integrates the capabilities of agents, MAS, and physical systems to create a real, fieldable application to attack a great number of real world domain problems.
