A Model-Based Executive for Commanding Robot Teams
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper presents a way to robustly command a system of systems as a single entity. Instead of modeling each component system in isolation and then manually crafting interaction protocols, this approach starts with a model of the collective population as a single system. By compiling the model into separate elements for each component system and utilizing a teamwork model for coordination, it circumvents the complexities of manually crafting robust interaction protocols. The resulting systems are both globally responsive by virtue of a team oriented interaction model and locally responsive by virtue of a distributed approach to model-based fault detection, isolation, and recovery.

Commanding Heterogeneous Multi-Robot Teams
Bolstering up a military unit, e.g., an infantry platoon on a recce mission, by robots often is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, the robots are able to support the soldiers in multiple ways, they can transport bulky equipment, they can enter risky spots, and they may have sensor suits that help to detect dangers of all kinds. On the other hand, robots need to be equipped with energy sourc...

متن کاملModel-Based Programming for Mobile Robot Teams
The Problem: As we increasingly depend on teams of robots to explore our universe, there is a need for these robots to have a flexible level of autonomy. In the case of a Mars exploration team, the human controllers would ideally set high-level goals that the rover team achieves autonomously using an on-board planner and executive. A successful adjustably-autonomous system would have the flexib...
متن کاملA Layered Architecture for Coordination of Mobile Robots
This paper presents an architecture that enables multiple robots to explicitly coordinate actions at multiple levels of abstraction. In particular, we are developing an extension to the traditional three-layered robot architecture that enables robots to interact directly at each layer – at the behavioral level, the robots create distributed control loops; at the executive level, they synchroniz...
