Communication-Restricted Exploration for Small Teams
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a novel algorithm that allows a small team of robots to fully explore an unknown environment, even in the face of extreme communication restrictions. We verify, through proofs and experiments, that the algorithm will achieve full exploration.

Communicative Exploration with Robot Packs
Exploration is a core challenge for RoboCup Rescue. Socalled communicative exploration is a novel strategy for multi-robot exploration that unlike other approaches takes the limits of wireless communication systems into account. Here, previous results that where achieved for a team of robots linked to a basestation are significantly extended to also cover robot packs, i.e., multi-robot teams th...
متن کاملDiscussion of Multi-Robot Exploration in Communication-Limited Environments
Many robotics applications benefit from cooperative exploration by multiple robots. Often the environments that they operate in contain significant communication challenges due to their size or complexity. There has been much work in keeping teams of autonomously exploring robots connected to one another, but in certain environments, distant locations can only be reached if robots relay informa...
متن کاملAutonomous Multi-Robot Exploration in Communication-Limited Environments
Teams of communicating robots are likely to be used for a wide range of applications in the near future, such as robotic search and rescue or robotic exploration of hostile and remote environments. In such scenarios, environments are likely to contain significant interference and multi-robot systems must be able to cope with loss of communication. We propose a novel multi-robot exploration appr...
متن کاملRolling Dispersion and Exploration for Robot Teams
After a disaster, human rescuers may have to wait for better conditions before beginning to search for survivors. A team of robots could enter long before the humans and scope out the environment to gather information that could help to prioritize tasks for the rescue operation. We have developed an algorithm to allow a small group of robots to progressively explore an unknown environment, movi...
متن کاملDispersion and exploration for robot teams
Dispersing a team of robots into an unknown and dangerous environment, such as a collapsed building, can provide information about structural damage and locations of survivors to help rescuers plan their actions. We have developed a rolling dispersion algorithm, which makes use of a small number of robots and achieves full exploration. The robots disperse as much as possible while maintaining c...
