Research concerning to Rescue
and disaster management has been developed in
ARLab of UdG.
Rescue and disaster management is an important and serious
social issue in the light of recent events around the world as Asian
tsunami and hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and terrorist disaster as London
attacks.
Currently, we are appling task scheduling and resource
allocation for agents interacting in a disaster environment. It is a hard
application domain due to the dinamicity of this escenario and communication
and perception constraints. On the other hand, agents can be damaged when they
are trying to accomplish their tasks. We have used coordination mechanisms
among agents and auctions for task allocation. We have used the RoboCup
Rescue simulator of
RoboCup Rescue
Project as a testbed.
