Multi-Robot Probabilistic Mapping and Exploration

Description:

This dissertation focuses on robotic mapping and exploration of uncertain environments. Computational algorithms are developed to provide complete stochastic information of the environments. These algorithms are designed for real-time implementation for robotic autonomy.First, probabilistic...

Controlling a Parent System Through the Abstraction of a Swarm Acting Upon It

Description:

This dissertation discusses the control of parent-child systems in which a parent system is acted on by a set of controllable child systems (i.e. a swarm). Using swarms of robots to accomplish complex tasks has several benefits over using a single robot; for example, members of the swarm can each...
