AbstractThe biological world has often offered inspirations to novel approaches to solving engineering problems. This paper presents an engineering analogy of the human immune system, known as the artificial immune system (AIS) for the strategic control of multi-agent based systems such as fleet of autonomous guided vehicles or a multi-jointed manipulator. The human immune system is a complex, adaptive and highly distributed system that exhibits the behaviors of autonomy, self-organizing, distributivity, fault tolerance, robustness, learning and memory, which is underpinned by a set of theories including the immune discrimination and specificity theories. A distributed control framework is developed based on the conceptual framework of the immune system. The AIS-based multi-agent control paradigm is studied via two key mechanisms in the generalized control hierarchy, namely, detection of events and the activation of control actions. Simulation and experimental study using a fleet of autonomous guided vehicles in a material handling system to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework. Copyright © 2005 IFAC.
