Abstract
Multi-agent systems (MASs) are rapidly increasing with the advancement of technologies, especially in the domains of e-commerce, health care, planning, telecommunication, supply chain, etc. Scholars across different disciplines have also become interested in it, such as computer science, electronics, engineering, and civil engineering. The arrangement in some environment that is equipped for an independent activity to complete its target is known as the agent. Decisions are made by the agents on a particular action to solve the task and complete its objective using various inputs like the past actions and interactions with it are surrounding agents. Human–computer interaction (HCI) implementation employing a multi-agent system is growing daily. Some contemporary applications in this sector covered by several technologies include telehealth, air traffic management, mixed reality, learning from demonstration, and psychological aspects of agents using HCI.
