Multi-robot terrain coverage approaches that are based on Voronoi partitioning produce unbalanced partitions of the workspace resulting in uneven distribution of the workload to the individual robots. The proposed approach ...

In this paper the problem of static multi-robot task allocation is addressed. It is concerned with the distribution of static tasks in an environment to robots such that the robots complete the tasks in an optimal fashion. ...

Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) is one of the popular energy conservation techniques for battery operated real-time and embedded systems. This paper presents EEDVFS, an energy efficient DVFS scheduling algorithm ...

Energy optimisation is gaining greater significance in a wide range of systems from mobile devices to datacentres. Specifically, in battery powered real-time embedded systems where tasks are executed under hard timing ...

We propose Frontier Allocation Synchronized by Token passing (FAST), a distributed algorithm for online terrain coverage using multiple mobile robots, ensuring mutually exclusive selection of frontier cells. Many ...

A multi-robot exploration approach is suggested in this paper that works on the premise that the topo-metric map of the indoor environment is known a priori. Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are used for spatial partitioning of ...

This paper presents a novel approach for multi-robot unknown area exploration. Recently, the frontier tree data structure was used in single robot exploration to memorize frontiers, their positions, exploration state, and ...

This paper gives a software framework for positioning multiple mobile robots in a circular formation. The robots are initially arbitrarily placed on a 2D plane. The definition of the circle formed by these robots is governed ...

Multi-robot pattern formation has a wide range of applications, such as inspection of hazardous regions, parallel and simultaneous transportation of load, area exploration, etc. This problem has been investigated both ...
