Abstract

Addressing the issues of dense passenger flow, complex circulation routes, high travel risks for visually impaired passengers in high-speed railway stations, as well as the standalone operation, decentralized management, and weak intelligent coordination capabilities of traditional guide robot dogs, this paper designs an intelligent monitoring platform for guide robot dogs in high-speed railway stations based on multi-agent technology. The platform adopts a core architecture consisting of robot dog execution agents, monitoring and dispatching agents, emergency decision-making agents, and operation and maintenance management agents, integrating five functional modules: situational visualization, equipment monitoring, remote dispatching, alarm handling, and data operation and maintenance. It realizes an integrated management and control mode featuring autonomous collaboration among multiple guide robot dogs, intelligent task allocation, proactive risk warning, and closed-loop fault management. This can provide a reference for the cluster management and control of intelligent service robots in transportation hubs.
