Uncertainty Based Multi-Robot Cooperative Triangulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents a multi-robot cooperative framework to estimate the 3D position of dynamic targets, based on bearing-only vision measurements. The uncertainty of the observation provided by each robot equipped with a bearing-only vision system is effectively addressed for cooperative triangulation purposes by weighing the contribution of each monocular bearing ray in a probabilistic manner. The envisioned framework is evaluated in an outdoor scenario with a team of heterogeneous robots composed of an Unmanned Ground and Aerial Vehicle.

Cooperative Multi Robot Path Planning using uncertainty Covariance as a feature EECS-545 Final Report
The project was aimed at applying some of the machine learning tools to the problem of multi-robot path planning. We have designed a Reinforcement Learning(RL) based multi agent planner, which maximizes the information gained as well keep the robots well localized. We have modified a 2D laser scan matcher to recover a multimodel distribution using the Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm to ...

This paper presents a first detailed case study of collaborative exploration of a substantial environment.We use a pair of cooperating robots to test multi-robot environment mapping algorithms based on triangulation of free space (see video). The robots observe one another using a robot tracking sensor based on laser range sensing (LIDAR). The environment mapping itself is accomplished using so...

In this paper, a dual system consisting of two 5 DOF (RRRRR) robot manipulators is considered as a cooperative robotic system used to manipulate a rigid payload on a desired trajectory between two desired initial and end positions/orientations. The forward and inverse kinematic problems are first solved for the dual arm system. Then, dynamics of the system and the relations between forces/momen...
متن کاملProbabilistic cooperative localization and mapping in practice
In this paper we present a probabilistic framework for the reduction in the uncertainty of a moving robot pose during exploration by using a second robot to assist. A Monte Carlo Simulation technique (specifically, a Particle Filter) is employed in order to model and reduce the accumulated odometric error. Furthermore, we study the requirements to obtain an accurate yet timely pose estimate. A ...
