Information Propagation Algorithms For Consensus Formation In Decentralized Multi-Agent Systems, Christopher Hollander
Information Propagation Algorithms For Consensus Formation In Decentralized Multi-Agent Systems, Christopher Hollander
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Consensus occurs within a multi-agent system when every agent is in agreement about the value of some particular state. For example, the color of an LED, the position or magnitude of a vector, a rendezvous location, the most recent state of data within a database, or the identity of a leader are all states that agents might need to agree on in order to execute their tasking. The task of the decentralized consensus problem for multi-agent systems is to design an algorithm that enables agents to communicate and exchange information such that, in finite time, agents are able to form …
Towards Improving Human-Robot Interaction For Social Robots, Saad Khan
Towards Improving Human-Robot Interaction For Social Robots, Saad Khan
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Autonomous robots interacting with humans in a social setting must consider the social-cultural environment when pursuing their objectives. Thus the social robot must perceive and understand the social cultural environment in order to be able to explain and predict the actions of its human interaction partners. This dissertation contributes to the emerging field of human-robot interaction for social robots in the following ways: 1. We used the social calculus technique based on culture sanctioned social metrics (CSSMs) to quantify, analyze and predict the behavior of the robot, human soldiers and the public perception in the Market Patrol peacekeeping scenario. 2. …
