Multi-robot collaboration for robust exploration

Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, 2001
This paper presents a new sensing modality for multirobot exploration. The approach is based on using a pair of robots that observe each other, and act in concert to reduce odometry errors. We assume the robots can both directly sense nearby obstacles and see each other. The proposed approach improves the quality of the map by reducing the inaccuracies

Hierarchical Multi-robot Coordination

2011
The complexity and variety of household chores creates conflicting demands on the technical design of domestic robots. One solution for this problem is the coordination of several specialized robots based on the master-slave principle. One robot acts as a master system, tracking and remotely controlling the slave robots. This way, only the master robot

An architecture for multi-robot hector mapping

2016 International Symposium on INnovations in Intelligent SysTems and Applications (INISTA), 2016
Urban search and rescue robots explore the area which they don't know. They must localize themselves, map the environment, and choose their targets. The usage of robot teams can be very effective for large areas instead of a single robot. Robot teams can be managed with distributed or centric methodologies.

FLIP: Prototyping multi-robot systems

Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 2005
Abstract The main objective of this article is to promote the use of inexpensive and realistic prototypes to verify the applicability of state-of-the-art technologies in the area of mobile robotics and intelligent manufacturing systems. We propose a toy prototype based on a LEGO® Mindstorms™ RCX brick extended with a PDA and wireless LAN. We describe

Capabilities in Heterogeneous Multi-Robot Systems

Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2021
Groups of robots are often able to to accomplish missions that no single robot can achieve by themselves. Teamwork is a very important factor in complex, dynamic domains. In heterogeneous teams, robustness and flexibility are increased by the diversity of the robots, each contributing different capabilities.

Multi-Robot Communication-Sensitive Reconnaissance

IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2004. Proceedings. ICRA '04. 2004, 2004
This paper presents a method for multi-robot communication sensitive reconnaissance. This approach utilizes collections of precompiled vector fields in parallel to coordinate a team of robots in a manner that is responsive to communication failures. Collections of vector fields are organized at the task level for reusability and generality.

On the design of multi-robot systems

Proceedings. 1984 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2005
For an efficient design of multi-robot systems it is of interest to consider not only parts of the hierarchical structure but to develop a complete control concept including the dynamics of the robots involved. In spite of high practical interest relatively little work has been done on these topics so far.

Multi-robot tree and graph exploration

2009 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2009
In this paper we present an algorithm for the exploration of an unknown graph with k robots, which is guaranteed to succeed on any graph, and which on trees we prove to be near-optimal for two robots, having optimal dependence on the size of the tree but not on its radius.
