FIPA (Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents)

FIPA (Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents) is an organization that develops standards for creating software agents—autonomous programs that can perform tasks, communicate, and collaborate with other agents or systems. These standards ensure that different agents can work together effectively, regardless of their underlying platforms or technologies. In practical terms, FIPA helps architects design intelligent systems for applications like robotics, automation, and digital assistants, enabling diverse software agents to share information and coordinate actions seamlessly across complex environments.
