Mine Detection and Route Planning in Military Warfare using Multi Agent System

One of the most promising uses for multi agent systems is the searching for items or resources in unknown environments. The use of multi agent systems to locate unexploded ordinance proves to be an excellent example of one such application. This research explores the possibility of a hybrid architecture that implements mine detection, obstacle avoidance and route planning with a group of autonomous agents with coordination capabilities. Groups of inter cooperating multi agents working towards a common goal have the potential to perform a task faster and with an increased level of efficiency then the same number of agents acting in an independent manner. This coordination framework will address the issues involved during such unknown exploration
