A Cooperative CiberMouse@RTSS08 Team

چکیده
This paper describes the strategy and implementation details of a cooperative agent team for the CiberMouse@RTSS08, a robotics simulation competition. The paper introduces several concepts concerning cooperative robotics, giving an overview of its applications and challenges. It also presents the CiberMouse@RTSS08 competition rules and the associated simulation system. The proposed approach is based on a deliberative architecture, thus providing an autonomous intelligent behaviour. A probabilistic mapping procedure, based on the Bayes’ theorem, is used to maintain an internal world state. Quadtrees and A* are used for path planning and plan execution. A specific methodology was developed for beacon finding. The agents cooperate on exchanging world and beacon information. In order to overcome the simulator’s broadcasting distance limitation, a communication network between the agents was created. The paper analyses the impact of cooperation on this particular problem, by comparing the team’s performance in four different situations: communication with network and beacon exchanging, communication without network, communication without beacon exchanging and no communication at all.

CiberMouse design: a case study for SAIA model reuse
In the context of last year RTSS robotic competition, SAIA models and their implementation have been proposed. The goal was the development of an exploration robot. This year, the paper proposes the reuse one of these models for the ciberMouse design. The realized modifications are presented and an emphasis is made on benefits and limits of SAIA model reuse.
متن کاملCooperative Control of Multiple Quadrotors for Transporting a Common Payload
This paper investigates the problem of controlling a team of Quadrotors that cooperatively transport a common payload. The main contribution of this study is to propose a cooperative control algorithm based on a decentralized algorithm. This strategy is comprised of two main steps: the first one is calculating the basic control vectors for each Quadrotor using Moore–Penrose theory aiming at coo...
متن کاملArchitecture to Enable Dynamic Reorganization of Cooperative Robotic Teams
Cooperative teams of robots must possess the ability to interact. In the event a team member fails or the team begins to operate in a sub-optimal fashion, the team must undergo reorganization with current team members potentially changing roles. To facilitate a cooperative team of robots, physical architecture, software systems and infrastructure must exist to support these teams.
