Performance Bounds on Spatial Coverage Tasks by Stochastic Robotic Swarms
This paper presents a novel procedure for computing parameters of a robotic swarm that guarantee coverage performance by the swarm within a specified error from a target spatial distribution. The main contribution of this paper is the analysis of the dependence of this error on two key parameters: the number of robots in the swarm and the robot sensing radius. The robots cannot localize or comm...
متن کاملDesign of Stochastic Robotic Swarms for Target Performance Metrics in Boundary Coverage Tasks
In this work, we analyze stochastic coverage schemes (SCS) for robotic swarms in which the robots randomly attach to a onedimensional boundary of interest using local communication and sensing, without relying on global position information or a map of the environment. Robotic swarms may be required to perform boundary coverage in a variety of applications, including environmental monitoring, c...
متن کاملUsing Stochastic Grammars to Learn Robotic Tasks
The paper introduces a reinforcement learning-based methodology for performance improvement of Intelligent Controllers. The translation interfaces of a 3-level Hierarchical Goal-Directed Intelligent Machine (HGDIM) are modeled by a 2-stage Hierarchical Learning Stochas-tic Automaton (HLSA). The decision probabilities at the two stages are recursively updated from the success and failure signals...
متن کاملSpatial awareness in robotic swarms through local wireless communications
We propose a fully distributed approach to endow robots in a swarm with awareness of their relative position with respect to the rest of the swarm. Such spatial awareness can be used to support spatially differentiated task allocation or for pattern formation. The approach we propose only relies on local communications and is based on a combination of distributed consensus and load balancing. W...
متن کاملExploiting Robotic Swarm Characteristics for Adversarial Subversion in Coverage Tasks
Multi-robot systems, such as swarms, with large number of members that are homogeneous and anonymous are robust to deletion and addition of members. However, these same properties that make the system robust, create vulnerabilities under certain circumstances. In this paper, we study such a case, namely the insertion by adversarial agents, called moles, that subvert the performance of the syste...
