Coverage Path Planning: The Boustrophedon Cellular Decomposition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coverage path planning is the determination of a path that a robot must take in order to pass over each point in an environment. Applications include vacuuming, oor scrubbing, and inspection. We developed the boustrophedon cellular decomposition, which is an exact cellular decomposition approach, for the purposes of coverage. Each cell in the boustrophedon is covered with simple back and forth motions. Once each cell is covered, then the entire environment is covered. Therefore, coverage is reduced to nding an exhaustive path through a graph which represents the adjacency relationships of the cells in the boustrophedon decomposition. This approach is provably complete and Experiments on a mobile robot validate this approach.

Coverage Path Planning for Mobile Cleaning Robots
In this paper a path planning algorithms for a mobile cleaning robot is developed. An exact cellular decomposition divides an environment in multiple smaller regions called cells. To produce an efficient cleaning path, the order in which these cells are cleaned is important. This paper describes how the optimalization of this path can be formulated as a Traveling Salesman Problem. Furthermore a...

Although autonomous mobile robots have been increasingly popular in a known workspace, but they face the challenging task of operation in an unknown workspace. This paper presents a sensor-based image matching for online cell decomposition to plan coverage path-that provides a mobile robot one of suitable complete coverage of an unknown rectilinear workspace. Authors develop a new method for ce...
متن کاملAAE 568 Course Project Report Optimal Control for Constrained Coverage Path Planning
The problem of constrained coverage path planning involves a robot trying to cover maximum area of an environment under some constraints that appear as obstacles in the map. Out of the several coverage path planning methods, we consider augmenting the linear sweep-based coverage method to achieve minimum energy/ time optimality along with maximum area coverage. In addition, we also study the ef...

متن کاملSimulated Path Planning for Auburn’s Autonomous Lawnmower
Auburn University has a competition Autonomous Lawnmower team and competes every year at ION’s competition [1] in Dayton, OH. This paper describes the how the team has approached coverage path planning for the lawnmower given the competition constraints. The competition setting dictates a closed polygon filed, which can be concave, and it will contain several static and dynamic obstacles. The p...
