The cooperative exploration problem necessarily involves communication among agents, while the spatial separation inherent in this task places fundamental limits on the amount of data that can be transmitted. However, the impact of limited communication on the exploration process has not been fully characterized. Existing exploration algorithms do not realistically model the tradeoff between expansion, which allows more rapid exploration of the area of interest, and maintenance of close relative proximity among agents, which facilitates communication. This thesis develops new algorithms applicable to the problem of cooperative exploration under communication constraints. The exploration problem is decomposed into two parts. In the first part, cooperative exploration is considered in the context of a hierarchical communication framework known as a mobile backbone network. In such a network, mobile backbone nodes, which have good mobility and communication capabilities, provide communication support for regular nodes, which are constrained in movement and communication capabilities but which can sense the environment. New exact and approximation algorithms are developed for throughput optimization in networks composed of stationary regular nodes, and new extensions are formulated to take advantage of regular node mobility. These algorithms are then applied to a cooperative coverage problem. In the second part of this work, techniques are developed for utilizing a given level of throughput in the context of cooperative estimation. The mathematical properties of the information form of the Kalman filter are leveraged in the development of two algorithms for selecting highly informative portions of the information matrix for transmission. One algorithm, a fully polynomial time approximation scheme, provides provably good results in computationally tractable time for problem instances of a particular structure. The other, a heuristic method applicable to instances of arbitrary matrix structure, performs very well in simulation for randomly-generated problems of realistic dimension.

Full textThe proposed method is designed to be robust in the face of arbitrarily large odometry errors or objects with poor reflectance characteristics. Central to the exploration strategy is a sensor (robot tracker) mounted on a robot that could track a second mobile robot and accurately report its relative position. Our exploration strategies use the robot tracker sensor to sweep areas of free space between stationary and moving robots and to generate a graph-based description of the environment. This graph is used to guide the exploration process. Depending on the size of the environment relative to the range of the robot tracker, different spatial decompositions are used: a triangulation or a trapezoidal decomposition of the free space. Complete exploration without any overlaps is guaranteed as a result of the guidance provided by the dual graph of the spatial decomposition of the environment.
The uncertainty in absolute robot positions and the resulting uncertainty in the map is reduced through the use of a probabilistic framework based on particle filtering (a Monte Carlo simulation technique). Particle filtering is a probabilistic sampling technique used to efficiently model complex probability distributions that cannot be effectively described using classical methods (such as Kalman filters).
We present experimental results from two different implementations of the robot tracker sensor, in simulated and in real environments. The accuracy of the resulting map increases with the use of cooperative localization. Furthermore, the deterioration of the floor conditions did not affect the quality of the map verifying the decoupling of positioning error from the environment.

Full textIn the aerial robotic community, a growing interest for Multi-Robot Systems (MRS) appeared in the last years. This is thanks to i) the technological advances, such as better onboard processing capabilities and higher communication performances, and ii) the promising results of MRS deployment, such as increased area coverage in minimum time. The development of highly efficient and affordable fleet of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) of small size has paved the way to new large-scale applications, that demand such System of Systems (SoS) features in areas like security, disaster surveillance, inundation monitoring, search and rescue, infrastructure inspection, and so on. Such applications require the robots to identify their environment and localize themselves. These fundamental tasks can be ensured by the exploration mission. In this context, this thesis addresses the cooperative exploration of an unknown environment sensed by a team of UAVs with embedded vision. We propose a multi-robot framework where the key problem is to cooperatively choose specific regions of the environment to be simultaneously explored and mapped by each robot in an optimized manner in order to reduce exploration time and, consequently, energy consumption. Each UAV is able to performSimultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) with a visual sensor as the main input sensor. To explore the unknown regions, the targets – selected from the computed frontier points lying between free and unknown areas – are assigned to robots by considering a trade-off between fast exploration and getting detailed grid maps. For the sake of decision making, UAVs usually exchange a copy of their local map; however, the novelty in this work is to exchange map frontier points instead, which allow to save communication bandwidth. One of the most challenging points in MRS is the inter-robot communication. We study this part in both topological and typological aspects. We also propose some strategies to cope with communication drop-out or failure. Validations based on extensive simulations and testbeds are presented

Full textThis thesis deals with the problem of cooperative explorations of a group of autonomous vehicles in unknown environments in the context of decentralized behaviour. The main contribution of this thesis is the development of a comprehensive decentralized cooperative exploration frame work in which each individual vehicle has the ability to explore an unknown environment by itself and also by cooperative behaviour in a team of several vehicles. To simulate the whole system, each individual vehicle will have the ability to explore an unknown environment by dynamically path-planning (with obstacle and collision avoidance), high-level con- trolling, updating the environment map, proposing potential destinations (frontiers), and solving online task assignment. In this thesis, the framework simulates an unknown environment as an occupancy grid map and uses a frontier-base exploration strategy, in which a cell will be marked as a frontier if it is adjacent at least one open cell, as the core architecture. In dealing with the uncertainties in process transition and observation models of autonomous vehicles, the well-known discrete extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm is investigated and implemented. When exploring the environment, a vehicle will update its surrounding information, then propose its potential destinations and evaluate the utility (benefit) to travel to each of those destinations. The benefit to go to each destination is derived from the subtraction of the utility (value) of that cell to the sum of the cost to travel to that cell and the steering cost. The key to cooperative exploration in the team of vehicles lies in each vehicle's ability to communicate the updates of the world to the whole team and to contribute to the global list of potential destinations. And each vehicle has the capability of solving the task assignment problem for the team by calling its own online-task-assignment solving engine. This algorithm results each vehicle in having a destination to visit, which benefits the whole team the most and reduces the total exploration time of the team.
