چکیده

The task of mapping and exploring an unknown environment remains one of the fundamental problems of mobile robotics. It is a task that can intuitively benefit significantly from a multi-robot approach. In this paper, we describe the design of the multi-robot mapping system used in the Jacobs Virtual Rescue team. The team competed in the World Cup 2007 and won the second place. It is shown how the recently proposed pose graph map representation facilitates not only map merging but also allows transmitting map updates efficiently.

Cooperative 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...

Stochastic cooperative advertising in a manufacturer–retailer decentralized supply channel

This work considers cooperative advertising in a manufacturer–retailer supply chain. While the manufacturer is the Stackelberg leader, the retailer is the follower. Using Sethi model it models the dynamic effect of the manufacturer and retailer’s advertising efforts on sale. It uses optimal control technique and stochastic differential game theory to obtain the players’ advertising strategies a...

Coordination of Information Sharing and Cooperative Advertising in a Decentralized Supply Chain with Competing Retailers Considering Free Riding Behavior

This paper studies a decentralized supply chain in which a manufacturer sells a common generic product through two traditional and online retailers under free riding market. We assume that the traditional retailer provides the value added services but the online retailer does not. Factors such as retail prices, local advertising of the retailers, global advertising of the manufacturer and servi...

Hinomiyagura 2014 Team Description Paper for RoboCup 2014 Rescue Virtual Robot League

This paper describes our team’s recent work and the research agenda for the RoboCup 2014 Rescue Virtual Robot League. We have two goal ; one of them is generating a map by multi-robot, the other one is making a test field to evaluate the performance of the response robot. Creating maps from data measured by mono-robot or multi-robot with ROS was described in a 2013 TDP of our team, and we find ...
