A Stochastic Model of Interaction for Situated Agents and its Parallel Implementation
Résumé
In this article, we address the modeling of uncertainties and errors in the simulation of situated agents. We propose a model of interaction that integrates uncertainties and errors due to effectors and sensors. This model is built upon a stochastic modeling of the interaction between an agent and its environment. We illustrate an application of such a model in case of simulating a set of mobile autonomous robots evolving in a structured environment (the inside of a building). Moreover, the built simulator has been designed to be executed on parallel computers and we describe its parallelization together with major results in terms of speed-up and size-up.
