Abstract

Autonomous mobile robots equipped with a number of sensors will soon be ubiquitous in human populated environments. In this paper we present an initial exploration into the potential of using such robots for information gathering. We present findings from a formative user survey and a 4-day long Wizard-of-Oz deployment of a robot that answers questions such as "Is there free food on the kitchen table?" Our studies allow us to characterize the types of information that InfoBots might be most useful for.

Gathering of robots on meeting-points: feasibility and optimal resolution algorithms

The paper considers variants of the gathering problem of oblivious and asynchronous robots moving in the plane. When $$n>2$$n>2 robots are free to gather anywhere in the plane, the problem has been solved in Cieliebak et al. (SIAM J Comput 41(4):829---...
Potential field method to navigate several mobile robots
Abstract
Navigation of mobile robots remains one of the most challenging functions to carry out. Potential Field Method (PFM) is rapidly gaining popularity in navigation and obstacle avoidance applications for mobile robots because of its elegance. Here a ...
Fault-Tolerant Gathering Algorithms for Autonomous Mobile Robots

This paper studies fault-tolerant algorithms for the problem of gathering $N$ autonomous mobile robots. A gathering algorithm, executed independently by each robot, must ensure that all robots are gathered at one point within finite time. In a failure-...
