Formalizing and Solving Information Collection Problems with Autonomous Sensor Systems

چکیده
This paper addresses the problem of planning data collection missions for a set of Information Collection Systems (ICS) to respond to a set of information requests. This problem goes from the formalization of information needs to the optimization of ICS actions. After having formalized requests and decomposed them into elementary requests, the problem can be modeled with a graph characterizing the various aspects: coordination and assignment of ICSs, request satisfaction and ICS use optimization. Based on this graph, the problem can be solved with an A*-like search algorithm.

متن کاملAutonomous navigation of mobile robots: from basic sensing to problem solving
Autonomous navigation is a complex task that requires both sensing capabilities to react to sudden environmental changes or map the environment and reasoning to schedule the next action to perform. Starting from basic sensing technology used in the majority of mobile robotic systems, the introduction of sensor fusion techniques allows to obtain useful information to solve the localization, mapp...
متن کاملEnvironmental Inspection using WSANs Based on Multi-agent Coordination Method
In this paper, we focus on the problem of driving and herding a collection of autonomous actors to a given area. Then, a new method based on multi-agent coordination is proposed for solving the problem. In our proposed method, we assume that the environment is covered by sensors. When an event is occurred, sensors forward information to a sink node. Based on received information, the sink node ...
متن کاملA Hierarchical SLAM/GPS/INS Sensor Fusion with WLFP for Flying Robo-SAR's Navigation
In this paper, we present the results of a hierarchical SLAM/GPS/INS/WLFP sensor fusion to be used in navigation system devices. Due to low quality of the inertial sensors, even a short-term GPS failure can lower the integrated navigation performance significantly. In addition, in GPS denied environments, most navigation systems need a separate assisting resource, in order to increase the avail...
متن کاملA topology control algorithm for autonomous underwater robots in three-dimensional space using PSO
Recently, data collection from seabed by means of underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSN) has attracted considerable attention. Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are increasingly used as UWSNs in underwater missions. Events and environmental parameters in underwater regions have a stochastic nature. The target area must be covered by sensors to observe and report events. A ‘topology cont...
