AgentFly is a software prototype providing intelligent algorithms for autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles. AgentFly is implemented as a scalable multi-agent system in JAVA running on the top of the Aglobe platform [1] which provides flexible middle-ware supporting seamless interaction among heterogenous software, hardware and human actors. Thanks to JAVA, AgentFly can easily be hosted on UAVs or computers with different operating systems. The multi-agent approach [2] provides straightforward mapping – each airplane is controlled by one agent. Agents integrate intelligent algorithms providing a coordination-based control for autonomous UAVs. In the presented work, only algorithms which are fully distributed among airplanes are used. Such algorithms provide a real autonomous ...
