Simplicity is one of the most important aspects of a multi-agent control scheme. Manyrecently researched strategies to multi-agent control tend to increase the complexity of theirrespective systems for the purpose of attaining superior results. The research presented hereutilizes the concept of Occam’s Razor or the principle of parsimony, which states: “It is vain to dowith more what can be done with less." This concept is extremely profound from an engineeringstandpoint, and engineering education would be greatly enhanced by emphasizing this axiom. Inthis paper, a multi

Any trends in variations with respect to time are noted.• Part Presentation Assignment: Students program the robot to pick up and replace cylindrical objects using an end-effector with parallel jaws in a continuous cycling mode. When the cylinder “walks” away from the reach of the end-effector, the student discovers the importance of the presentation of the part to the robot and the design of the end-effector. In the second part of the assignment, the cylinders are removed from a parts-handling device and inserted into a hole. The student is also required to
