Multi-robot repeated area coverage [PDF]
Autonomous Robots, 2013 We address the problem of repeated coverage of a target area, of any polygonal shape, by a team of robots having a limited visual range. Three distributed Cluster-based algorithms, and a method called Cyclic Coverage are introduced for the problem. The goal is to evaluate the performance of the repeated coverage algorithms under the effects of the ...

Area Coverage With Multiple Capacity-Constrained Robots
IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 2022 The area coverage problem is the task of efficiently servicing a given two-dimensional surface using sensors mounted on robots such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). We present a novel formulation for generating coverage routes for multiple capacity-constrained robots, where capacity can be specified in terms of ...

Global Optimization of UAV Area Coverage Path Planning Based on Good Point Set and Genetic Algorithm
Aerospace, 2022 When performing area coverage tasks in some special scenarios, fixed-wing aircraft conventionally adopt the scan-type of path planning, where the distance between two adjacent tracks is usually less than the minimum turning radius of the aircraft.

Active Area Coverage from Equilibrium [PDF]
EasyChair Preprints, 2019 This paper develops a method for robots to integrate stability into actively seeking out informative measurements through coverage. We derive a controller using hybrid systems theory that allows us to consider safe equilibrium policies during active data collection.

On Multi-robot Area Coverage [PDF]
International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2010 Area coverage is one of the emerging problems in multi-robot coordination. In this task a team of robots is cooperatively trying to observe or sweep an entire area, possibly containing obstacles, with their sensors or actuators. The goal is to build an efficient path for each robot which jointly ensure that every single point in the environment can be ...

Coverage area maximization with parallel simulated annealing
Expert Systems with Applications, 2022 This study provides a system that determines where to locate 𝑘 disks-like services of radius 𝑟 so that they globally cover as much as possible a region of demand. It is an NP-hard problem with notorious applications in the facility location field when locating multiple warning sirens, cellular towers, radio stations, or pollution sensors covering as ...
