Abstract

Assistive robotics especially mobile arm manipulator can be useful for restoring manipulation function of disabled people in everyday life tasks. However, those systems must be designed to be reliable, fault tolerant and easy to control. This article proposes a method based on multiagent system for controlling the robot. This kind of distributed architecture makes possible to be fault-tolerant without specifying additional management of faults what improves reliability. Moreover, it is also possible to add specific constraints, for example human like behaviors in order to facilitate the use of the system by the person. The multiagent method is easier to implement than classical robotics approaches.
