Abstract:
This paper presents a hybrid intelligent multi-agent method for marine faults tolerant control (FTC). A new FTC schema, implemented by different kinds of agent, is discussed as well as the structure and functions of those agents, which have been encapsulated with intelligent algorithms to carry out different aspects in FTC. These agents could, having a purpose of trying to earn payoff as much as possible in a mission, communicate and form a coalition via negotiation when they find cooperation would bring them more benefits. Simulation experiments and its results are shown at last to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed system.
