Abstract:In this work, we investigate an energy-aware multi-robot task-allocation (MRTA) problem in a cluster of the robot network that consists of a base station and several clusters of energy-harvesting (EH) robots. It is assumed that there are M+1 robots in the cluster and M tasks exist in each round. In the cluster, a robot is elected as the cluster head, which assigns one task to each robot in that round. Its responsibility (or task) is to collect the resultant data from the remaining M robots to aggregate and tra… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
