Multirobot control using time varying density functions
1. MULTIROBOT CONTROL USING TIME-VARYING DENSITY FUNCTIONS
ABSTRACT
An approach is presented for influencing teams of robots by means of time-varying
density functions, representing rough references for where the robots should be located. A
continuous-time coverage algorithm is proposed and distributed approximations are given
whereby the robots only need to access information from adjacent robots. Robotic experiments
show that the proposed algorithms work in practice, as well as in theory.
