Team-aware Multirobot Strategy for Cooperative Path Clearing

Conference Paper, Proceedings of 17th National Conference on Artificial Intelligence and 12th Conference on Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI/IAAI '00), July, 2000

Abstract

In this paper, we present a simulated version of a potential demining problem in which robotic minesweepers clear a battle area of anti-tank mines to enable troops to breach the field. The demining problem is modeled as a distributed optimization problem in which the robots strive to minimize an abstract cost function. Robots were simulated using the Java based simulator TeamBots (www.teambots.org).
