Autonomous Transportation Systems

  • Pipe systems for transportation of goods
  • Autonomous Robots transport goods from A to B
  • Goal:
    • Agents have to find their way to these pipe systems themselves
    • Agents have to move inside the pipe system from A to B
    • Problem: if many agents in the system how to organise them to avoid jams, …

Air Traffic Control System

  • From top-down system to bottom-up system
  • Decentralised
  • Constraints, zero-tolerance against error
  • Optimise the route
  • Agent in the plane knows about other neighbouring planes and applies repulsion
    • Identifies the route (on the air)
    • Avoid other planes (on the air) – take regulations into account
    • Improve quality of service (time departure, ask for priority to leave the airport)
  • Reasons
    • Many points of failures
    • Humans involved – air traffic controller

Self-Organising financial market

  • Put software agents into stock markets
  • Goal:
    • To make market more stable
    • Avoid crashes
    • To be more in line with economic theory (rational behaviour, faster, act in zero time)
  • How (Alternatives)
    • All the trading is done by agents
    • Trade based on trust
    • Build a network of trust, help identify grey-zone
    • Population of agents that crawls the market and looks at it in other ways and identifies whether or not product/entity is trustful
      • Agents rely on human-like trust (identify healthy from unhealthy products)
      • Agents rely in facts on not on emotion or imitation
      • Agents identify risks
  • Open questions
    • How to mix them with human people
  • Acceptance?

Mass Panic and Mass Movement

  • Use embedded or integrated sensors to sense mass movement
  • Use mobile self-organizing nodes (e.g., drones) to get more information in areas of interest
  • Reroute persons optimizing time to exit, time to find a free space in a train, etc.

Theft Prevention

  • Using cooperating smart homes equipped with cameras, facilities to autonomously switch on light/TV
  • Apply pattern recognition to identify theft attempts (e.g., persons spying around)
  • Self-organization mechanisms are required to adapt to changing patterns and situations

Hybrid Human-Swarm scenarios

  • A human leader ( in a rescue or exploration situation, or in a elderly people home) is followed and assisted by a swarm of SO elements.
  • SO elements adjust to environment, can identify the current aim or goal of leader and help achieving it.
  • e.g.: build step to elevate leader, help when shopping, overcome obstacles,
