Design and Implementation of an Adaptive Heterogeneous Robotic Sensing Team A PLAN B THESIS BY Bradley E. Kratochvil IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN COMPUTER SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA

Heterogeneous implementation of an adaptive robotic sensing team

When designing a mobile robotic team, an engineer is faced with many design choices. This paper discusses the design of a team consisting of two different models of robots with significantly different sensing and control capabilities intended to accomplish a similar task. Two new robotic platforms, the COTS Scout and the MegaScout are described along with their respective design considerations.
