Demo of the Agri-RO5 Architecture for Agrirobot Fleet Simulation
摘要
The growing demand for sustainable and high-yield agriculture necessitates the deployment of autonomous, cost-effective, and resilient agricultural robot (agrirobot) fleets, particularly in labor-scarce rural areas with challenging working conditions. This paper presents the demo of the novel multi-agent architecture, Agri-RO5, for realistic simulation of dynamic agrirobot fleet coordination methods. The Agri-RO5 approach tackles the challenges in rural settings, including low connectivity and geographically dispersed farms. Our long-term goal is to develop digital twins to optimize real-world fleet performance. Agri-RO5 is implemented in Unity-3D, Robot Operating System (ROS), and an extension of the existing package Patrolling SIM to achieve high simulation fidelity representing real-world conditions. The integration allows the coordination solution into the controllers of actual physical robotic systems and ensures that simulations closely match real-world scenarios. Our system prioritizes a highly distributed architecture facilitated by incorporating SPADE3 and FIVE. SPADE3 provides a framework for developing and executing scalable multi-agent systems, while FIVE offers the creation of the environment and provides mechanisms to interact with the environment.
