The Multi-Agent-based Search and Rescue System in ROS is a robotics framework that leverages ROS for deploying multiple autonomous agents to perform coordinated search and rescue operations. Each agent uses onboard sensors and ROS topics for real-time mapping, obstacle avoidance, and target detection. A central coordinator assigns tasks dynamically based on agent status and environment feedback. The system can be run in Gazebo or on actual robots, enabling researchers and developers to test and refine multi-robot cooperation, communication protocols, and adaptive mission planning under realistic conditions.

This repository aggregates a comprehensive collection of multi-agent system components and distributed AI coordination techniques. It provides implementations of consensus algorithms, contract net negotiation protocols, auction-based task allocation, coalition formation strategies, and inter-agent communication frameworks. Users can leverage built-in simulation environments to model and test agent behaviors under varied network topologies, latency scenarios, and failure modes. The modular design allows developers and researchers to integrate, extend, or customize individual coordination modules for applications in robotics swarms, IoT device collaboration, smart grids, and distributed decision-making systems.
