There are many planning systems using multi-agents and temporal
constraints. But the domains for most of these systems are limited
to only a very simplistic world model. The system we are working on
involves a complex graphic display of the inside of NASA's space lab
(within the space shuttle). There are many complex objects and
multi-agents to contend with to provide a true simulation of even a
simple command.
Hendrix's model shows an interesting world model for a simple
scenario, but without a sophisticated planner. There must be further
research in such "robot-like" worlds and if so, I would greatly
appreciate any pointers toward articles/papers/books dealing with
such complex world models and planning systems.
Thank you,
