Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer program products for autonomous, multi-agent goal-seeking are described. In an exemplary implementation, a hierarchical operational structure of a business employs autonomous AI-based controllers and robot systems in a bidirectional communication network to leverage fast and complete data sharing across all levels of the business. The comprehensive data collection is used to support the formulation of, and measure progress against, a hierarchical goal structure in which the top-level business controller specifies top-level business objectives and successive lower-level tiers of the business control hierarchy execute tasks and specify successively lower-level objectives for the tiers below. The ground level of the hierarchy comprises autonomous robot workers that autonomously perform ground-level tasks and data collection to support the business, and deliver reports back upstream to inform the higher-level objective setting.
