Multi-robot task scheduling [PDF]

open access: yes2013 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2013
The scheduling problem has been studied extensively in the literature. Many algorithms have been developed to operate with different types of processors and tasks. In the robotics domain, when considering each robot as a processor, some of these algorithms can be directly adapted.

Graph-Based Multi-Robot Path Finding and Planning [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Robotics Reports, 2022
Planning collision-free paths for multiple robots is important for real-world multi-robot systems and has been studied as an optimization problem on graphs, called multi-agent path finding (MAPF).

Centralized Mission Planning for Multiple Robots Minimizing Total Mission Completion Time

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Most mission planning algorithms solve multi-robot-multi-mission problems based on mixed integer linear programming. In these algorithms, the rewards (or costs) of missions for each robot are calculated according to the purpose of the user.

Temperature Sensing of Stepped-Metal Coated Optical Fiber Bragg Grating with the Restructured Dual-Peak Resonance

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
This paper demonstrates a method for the development of stepped-metal coating on optical fiber Bragg grating. The paper also analyzes the dual-peak resonance restructured by the nickel/copper stepped-metal coating. According to the coefficients of linear

On Multi-robot Area Coverage [PDF]

open access: yesInternational 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 ...

DiSCo-SLAM: Distributed Scan Context-Enabled Multi-Robot LiDAR SLAM With Two-Stage Global-Local Graph Optimization

open access: yesIEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 2022
We propose a novel framework for distributed,multi-robot SLAM intended for use with 3D LiDAR observations. The framework, DiSCo-SLAM, is the first to use the lightweight Scan Context descriptor for multi-robot SLAM, permitting a data-efficient exchange ...

Learning Interaction-Aware Trajectory Predictions for Decentralized Multi-Robot Motion Planning in Dynamic Environments [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 2021
This letter presents a data-driven decentralized trajectory optimization approach for multi-robot motion planning in dynamic environments. When navigating in a shared space, each robot needs accurate motion predictions of neighboring robots to achieve ...

Collaborative multi-robot exploration [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings 2000 ICRA. Millennium Conference. IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation. Symposia Proceedings (Cat. No.00CH37065), 2002
In this paper we consider the problem of exploring an unknown environment by a team of robots. As in single-robot exploration the goal is to minimize the overall exploration time. The key problem to be solved therefore is to choose appropriate target points for the individual robots so that they simultaneously explore different regions of their ...

Meeting-Merging-Mission: A Multi-robot Coordinate Framework for Large-Scale Communication-Limited Exploration [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE/RJS International Conference on Intelligent RObots and Systems, 2021
This letter presents a complete framework Meeting-Merging-Mission for multi-robot exploration under communication restriction. Considering communication is limited in both bandwidth and range in the real world, we propose a lightweight environment ...

De-Centralized Multi Robot Co-Ordination and Communication

open access: yesMehran University Research Journal of Engineering and Technology, 2019
The aim of this research is to develop a decentralized communication system of multiple robots which have capability to communicate and coordinate with each other, by which all robots work individually while keeping connectivity among them. Decentralized
