Multiagent cooperation based entertainment robot

In recent years, cooperation of heterogeneous multiagents (HMAs) has achieved formidable results and gained an increasing attention by researchers. This paper presents an entertainment robot system based on the HMAs' cooperation. This robot is used to distinguish the basic information of a person from the audience and entertain him in the exhibition hall. The main agents include the Arbitration System (AS), the Face Recognition System (FRS), the Position Cognition System (PCS), and the Behavior Planner (BP), which are carved up according to their respective functions. Each agent completes its own task independently and the robot finishes the whole mission through their cooperation. The hybrid control architecture and the data-fusion algorithm based on Bayesian Belief Network are also discussed in this paper.
