Abstract :
This paper presents an implementation model of a sensor fusion system using multiple autonomous agents that interact with each other with a collaborative behaviour and implemented in reconfigurable hardware (hardware agents). Such hardware implementations has the potential of greatly improving the performance of agent based sensor fusion operations when compared to equivalent software only implementations.
