ABSTRACT
In this chapter, multi-agent systems in agricultural applications involving a RA to RA and RA to human agent (HA) collaboration are reviewed. Common systems’ control architecture and design, tools and middleware, planning and decision execution, cooperation behaviour, and communication systems are discussed for recently developed systems for agricultural applications. A case study of a multi-agent collaborative system’s framework for transporting harvested fruit bins in orchards, which is investigated at the University of Canterbury, is presented.
