Abstract (EN): As the number of handicapped people increases worldwide, Intelligent Wheelchairs (IW) are becoming the solution to enable a higher degree of independence for wheelchair users. In addition, IW Projects relevance is increasing, mainly in the fields of robotics and safety-related systems due to their inherent and still unresolved problems related with environment uncertainty, sale communications and collaboration methodologies. This paper describes the development of new communication system, based on multi-agent systems (MAS) methodologies and motivated by Intelligent Wheelchair systems, as a mean to enable fault-tolerant communications in open transmission systems and as an agent collaboration enabler. It provides an overview of the related work, the background and the main constraints to system development. It; proposes and discusses a new communication model, based on messages, for multi-agent; systems, that tackles the problems that exist in a dynamic and uncertain environment in the field of mobile robotics. The achieved results enable us to conclude on time effectiveness of the proposed communication model and its adequacy to the field of mobile robots in dynamic environments while establishing a comparison with a commonly used Multi-Agent Platform, JADE.
