Abstract

Pathfinding is a critical element of AI in many modern applications like multiple mobile robots, game industry and flock traffic navigation based on negotiation (FTN). Classical algorithms assume a unique mobile agent with a complete and accurate model of its environment. New applications demand algorithms that consider multiple agents moving in partially known and changing environments. This paper introduces a new algorithm capable of planning paths for multiple agents and takes the FTN scenario as the basis of an example.
