ABSTRACT:
Multi-robot coverage is an essential requirement in many applications, which
can be achieved by decomposing a region into cells or polygons and assigning
robots to cover these cells. During the operation, agents can fail,
resulting in partial coverage. In addition, communication range may be
limited. Under these conditions, the faulty agent must be discovered quickly
and its area must be redistributed between the rest of the working agents.
In this talk, I will discuss some of the fault tolerant algorithms that we
have developed for under limited communication constraints and area
redistribution without conflicts.
