Autonomous Exploration Using Multiple Sources of Information
نویسندگان
چکیده
This research enables robot explorers to maximize the total information gained while minimizing costs such as driving, sensing and planning. This paper presents a general methodology for solving complex exploration tasks which employs multiple sources of information. The paper also develops a specific instantiation of the method to solve the exploration problem of creating a complete traversability map of an unknown region. Simulation results showing the solution of this exploration task are included.

A Multiple Information Source Planner for Autonomous Planetary Exploration Stewart
This research casts the problem of exploration into one of collecting information and enables the completion of complex exploration tasks by considering multiple sources of information. This paper describes a methodology to solve exploration tasks which computes the expected information gain, for each information source, from a sensor reading. It also proposes a greedy search algorithm to colle...
متن کاملScheduling of Multiple Autonomous Guided Vehicles for an Assembly Line Using Minimum Cost Network Flow
This paper proposed a parallel automated assembly line system to produce multiple products having multiple autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs). Several assembly lines are configured to produce multiple products in which the technologies of machines are shared among the assembly lines when required. The transportation between the stations in an assembly line (intra assembly line) and among station...
متن کاملAutonomous Exploration of Cliff Faces using Multiple Information Metrics
Recent evidence that water flowed down the faces of some Martian cliffs has created an interest in the scientific community to explore these cliffs more thoroughly, perhaps using robots. This paper presents a technique for autonomous exploration that considers multiple forms of information while exploring. The method is applied to the problem of autonomously exploring cliffs. The exploring robo...
متن کاملModelling the Level of Adoption of Analytical Tools; An Implementation of Multi-Criteria Evidential Reasoning
In the future, competitive advantages will be given to organisations that can extract valuable information from massive data and make better decisions. In most cases, this data comes from multiple sources. Therefore, the challenge is to aggregate them into a common framework in order to make them meaningful and useful.This paper will first review the most important multi-criteria decision analy...
متن کاملA cooperative architecture for target localization using multiple AUVs
A recent concern in marine robotics is to consider the deployment of fleets of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs). Multiple vehicles with heterogeneous capabilities have several advantages over a single vehicle system, and in particular the potential to accomplish tasks faster and better than a single vehicle. This paper addresses in this context the pr...
