Collaborative Exploration of Unknown Environments with Teams of Mobile Robots
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 in the context of multiple robots is to choose appropriate target points for the individual robots so that they simultaneously explore different regions of the environment. We present an a...
متن کاملEfficient Search for Known Objects in Unknown Environments Using Autonomous Indoor Robots
We consider the problem of a robotic system searching for a specific object in an unmapped environment. We operate in a human environment, using a wheeled robot equipped with vision and distance sensors. The vision system is linked to a knowledge base containing object templates constructed from primitive geometric components, supporting recognition of objects. Given that some visual inputs may...
متن کاملIntelligent behaviors for a convoy of indoor mobile robots operating in unknown environments
Intelligent behaviors allow a convoy of small indoor robots to perform high-level mission tasking. These behaviors include various implementations of map building, localization, obstacle avoidance, object recognition, and navigation. Several behaviors have been developed by SSC San Diego, with integration of other behaviors developed by opensource projects and a technology transfer effort funde...
متن کاملExploring Unknown Environments with Mobile Robots using Coverage Maps
In this paper we introduce coverage maps as a new way of representing the environment of a mobile robot. Coverage maps store for each cell of a given grid a posterior about the amount the corresponding cell is covered by an obstacle. Using this representation a mobile robot can more accurately reason about its uncertainty in the map of the environment than with standard occupancy grids. We pres...
متن کاملDetecting, localizing, and tracking an unknown number of moving targets using a team of mobile robots
Target tracking is a fundamental problem in robotics research and has been the subject of detailed studies over the years. In this paper, we introduce a new formulation, based on the mathematical concept of random finite sets, that allows for tracking an unknown and dynamic number of mobile targets with a team of robots. We show how to employ the Probability Hypothesis Density filter to simulta...
