Auction-Consensus Algorithm with Learned Bidding Scheme for Multi-Robot Systems
Jose Rodriguez, Constantine Tarawneh, Sven Koenig +2
Multi-Robot Task Allocation (MRTA) is a central challenge in decentralized multi-agent systems, where teams of robots must cooperatively assign and execute tasks under limited comm…
Selection as Power: Constrained Reinforcement for Bounded Decision Authority
Jose Manuel de la Chica Rodriguez, Juan Manuel Vera Díaz
Selection as Power argued that upstream selection authority, rather than internal objective misalignment, constitutes a primary source of risk in high-stakes agentic systems. Howev…
Towards Selection as Power: Bounding Decision Authority in Autonomous Agents
Jose Manuel de la Chica Rodriguez, Juan Manuel Vera Díaz
Autonomous agentic systems are increasingly deployed in regulated, high-stakes domains where decisions may be irreversible and institutionally constrained. Existing safety approach…
Self-Evolving Coordination Protocol in Multi-Agent AI Systems: An Exploratory Systems Feasibility Study
Jose Manuel de la Chica Rodriguez, Juan Manuel Vera Díaz
Contemporary multi-agent systems increasingly rely on internal coordination mechanisms to combine, arbitrate, or constrain the outputs of heterogeneous components. In safety-critic…
