Multi-micro-agent system middleware model based on event sourcing and CQRS patterns – In: Smart Trajectories: Metamodeling, Reactive Architecture for Analytics, and Smart Applications, 2022

Abstract In this chapter, we present a new model of middleware for multi-micro-agent distributed systems. The proposed model is based on event-driven architecture using event sourcing and CQRS patterns. In this architecture the agent communication model uses a couple of buses. The command bus is used to dispatch commands intended to change the state of the agent, and the query bus is used dispatch queries intended to poll the agent domain state. This mechanism allows separating completely the read and…

Abstract The development of an effective agricultural robot presents various challenges in actuation, localization, navigation, sensing, etc., depending on the prescribed task. Moreover, when multiple robots are engaged in an agricultural task, this requires appropriate coordination strategies to be developed to ensure safe, effective, and efficient operation. This paper presents a simulation study that demonstrates a robust coordination strategy for the navigation of two heterogeneous robots, where one robot is the expert and the second robot is the helper in…

Abstract Difficulties with social interaction characterise children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and have a negative impact in their everyday life. Integrating a social-humanoid robot within the standard clinical treatment has been proven promising. The main aim of this randomised controlled study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a robot-assisted psychosocial intervention and the secondary aim was to investigate potential differences between a robot-assisted intervention group and a control group receiving intervention by humans only. The analysis of the results showed…

2022, Cybspeed, Publications

Abstract Numerous studies have reported social robot applications for children including both typical and special education. Similar applications for the elderly are underplayed. However, children grow to adults and, ultimately, to elderly. This preliminary work, based on our expertise with social robot NAO in special education applications for children, reports an approach for engaging social robots for elderly with Alzheimer’s disease. In particular, a social robot, equipped with a variety of electronic sensors and supported by suitable mathematical models implemented in software, is engaged as a…

Abstract Seasonal labor shortages in agriculture are experienced throughout Europe and beyond especially, but not only, during the harvest time when the demand for hands is high as well as urgent. Agrobots have been established as a sustainable solution to support these growing demands due to their capacity to work incessantly, fast as well as with skillful precision. In the aforementioned context, this work investigates the design of a single multi-purpose robotic system towards automation of a number of skillful…
