        <jats:abstract xml:lang="en">
          <jats:p>This study investigates how to apply a multi-agent system (MAS)-based process on robotic platforms to mine detection, especially improving collaboration/communication between agents. Agents can communicate and collaborate by sharing sensor data relevant to the task, sharing requests for tasks to be acted on by agents, applying standard protocols, wireless communications, message passing, etc. Using a publish-subscribe architecture will enable the agents not to force all agents to receive all information and use decentralized decision-making to promote adaptable behavior. In addition, through adaptive communications protocols, a better means of data sharing, adaptations of behavior, and higher-order activities will be simpler. Finally, a shared state of relevant communication will allow collaborative robotic agents in an MAS to have higher accuracy and efficiency to clear minefields while improving safety and effectiveness.</jats:p>
