What are Multi-Agent Systems?

Imagine a group of independent robots working together to clean a large warehouse. Each robot makes its own decisions but coordinates with others to complete the task efficiently. This is the power of multi-agent systems (MAS) . Multi-agent systems consist of multiple autonomous entities, known as agents , that interact within an environment to achieve individual or shared goals. MAS have become essential in many areas such as artificial intelligence, robotics, telecommunications, and traffic management. By combining the efforts of multiple agents, MAS tackle complex problems that would be difficult for a single system to handle. This article explores what multi-agent systems are, their types, real-world uses, challenges, and the future of this exciting technology. 1. Overview of Multi-Agent Systems Components of MAS A multi-agent system is made up of agents, which can be software programs, robots, or any autonomous entities. These agents can perceive their environment, make decisions,...
