Abstract:Constructing architecture and generating optimal paths for autonomous robots are some of the heavily studied subjects in mobile agents applications. The aim of this paper is to find and analyze a optimal path algorithm for a group of autonomous robots using agent-based architecture in a virtual reality environment. The optimal path is determined by a heuristic approach, A-Star algorithm. The master-slave architecture control the communication between robots (slave agents) and the mobile agent (master). The robots communicate with the mobile agents to generate an optimal path (time and collision-free optimal path) by presenting all the subsequent trajectories while navigating among various obstacles. The results are conducted to show the effectiveness of the proposed architecture.
