  • Navigation and coordination of autonomous mobile robots with limited resources

    Creator:
    Knudson, Matthew D.
    Abstract:
    The use of autonomous robots in complex exploration tasks is rapidly increasing. Indeed, robots can provide speed and cost effectiveness in many tasks, as well as allow operation in environments that are hostile to humans. In this dissertation we: 1) provide two adaptive navigation algorithms; 2) develop a coordination mechanism;...

  • Applying hierarchical and adaptive control to coordinating simple robots

    Creator:
    Knudson, Matthew D.
    Abstract:
    Coordinating multiple robots to achieve a complex task requires solving two distinct control problems: the high-level control problem of ensuring that each robot aims to perform a useful task (e.g., coordination) and the low-level control problem of ensuring that each robot actually performs the correct actions to achieve its task...
