Energy Efficient Area Coverage for an Autonomous Demining Robot
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work studies different coverage approaches with a mobile robot equipped with a landmine detecting sensor attached to an actuator arm. Different coverage techniques were experiment in this work and the cost benefit was analyzed in terms of energy consumption. The problem of optimising the combined motion of a mobile platform with an arm was addressed. The feasibility and effectiveness of both algorithms are demonstrated by simulation results for coverage work of target area.

A Markov Decision Model for Area Coverage in Autonomous Demining Robot
Received Feb 16, 2017 Revised Jun 29, 2017 Accepted Jul 19, 2017 A review of literature shows that there is a variety of works studying coverage path planning in several autonomous robotic applications. In this work, we propose a new approach using Markov Decision Process to plan an optimum path to reach the general goal of exploring an unknown environment containing buried mines. This approach...
متن کاملTowards safest path adversarial coverage
Coverage is a fundamental problem in robotics, where a robot is required to visit every part of a given area as efficiently as possible ([1], [3], [4], [5], [6], [8]). Coverage has many applications in various domains, from automatic floor cleaning to humanitarian missions such as search and rescue and field demining. The coverage problem is analogous to the traveling salesman problem (TSP), wh...
متن کاملComplete coverage path planning of mobile robots for humanitarian demining
The paper presents a path planning algorithm for a non-circular shaped mobile robot to autonomously navigate in an unknown area for humanitarian demining. For that purpose the path planning problem comes down to planning a path from some starting location to a final location in an area so that the robot covers all the reachable positions in the area while following the planned path. Based on ou...

متن کاملA modular control architecture for semi- autonomous navigation
Humanitarian demining is still a highly laborintensive and high-risk operation. Advanced sensors and mechanical aids can significantly reduce the demining time. In this context, it is the aim to develop a humanitarian demining mobile robot which is able to scan semi-automatically a minefield. This paper discusses the development of a control scheme for such a semi-autonomous mobile robot for hu...
