Multiagent Cyber-Physical-Human (CPH) systems in realistic environments operate under uncertain conditions. Communication among agents, aimed at reducing the uncertainty, is itself subject to uncertainty. We propose to manage uncertainties in autonomous, long-duration operations of multiagent systems via a modified Honeybee Foraging (HBF) behavioral scheme. The resulting system, Autonomous Persistent Intelligent Swarm (APIS),incorporates two new behaviors to ameliorate informational uncertainty. When “scouting”, agents are tasked based on informational quality and reliability rather than solely on priorities. When “dancing”, agents are tasked to rendezvous with other dancing agents to exchange information at close range, where successful communication is guaranteed. When coupled with uncertainty-aware modeling across agents, these behaviors improve situational awareness and resilience of the system, enabling it to function under more uncertain conditions arising during long-duration missions.
