Abstract:Increasing the autonomy of multi-agent systems or swarms for exploration missions requires tools for efficient information gathering. This work studies this problem from theoretical and experimental perspectives and evaluates an exploration system for multiple ground robots that cooperatively explore a stationary spatial process. For the distributed model, two conceptually different distribution paradigms are considered. The exploration is based on fusing distributively gathered information using Sparse Bayesi… Show more
