The reliability of individual robots influences the success of multirobot missions. When one robot fails, others must be retasked to complete the failed robot's tasks. This increases the failure likelihood for these other robots. Existing multirobot task allocation systems consider robot failures only after the fact, via replanning. In this paper w...

... a simple multirobot exploration mission with two identical robots and two locations to be visited ( Fig. 1). The goal of the mission is for all target locations to be visited in any order by any robot in the shortest total mission time. Time is assumed here to be proportional to distance traversed. Each robot is defined by an (x, y) location and a reliability P t , which is the probability of surviving a one-unit traverse. Each target ...

Neural networks have been applied to many real world problems due to their capability of modelling and learning without much a priori information about the system. Scalability is a snagging characteristic of neural networks, i.e. it demands huge computational cost for retraining the network if any new feature is to be added to the model. In such ar...
This paper discusses the problem of generating efficient coverage paths for a mobile robot in an adversarial environment, where threats exist that might stop the robot. First, we formally define the problem of adversarial coverage, and present optimization criteria used for evaluation of coverage algorithms in adversarial environments. We then pres...

This paper proposes a new method for guaranteed integration of state equations. The main idea is to formalize the problem as a constraint network, the variables of which are trajectories defined by arithmetic and differential equations. The contribution of the paper is to provide a reliable tool to enclose these differential equations. Its use is s...
In this paper we describe a system to simulate and operate Virtual and Real robots (ViRBot). The system consists of several layers that control the operation of real and virtual robots. A 3D graphic engine interface allows to test multiple virtual robots, that are a close simulation of the real ones, the vir-tual robots are able to execute the same...
