Energy-Efficient Multi-Robot Coverage Path Planning of Non-Convex Regions of Interests
Sourav Raxit, Jose Fuentes, Paulo Padrao +4
This letter presents an energy-efficient multi-robot coverage path planning (MRCPP) framework for large, nonconvex Regions of Interest (ROI) containing obstacles and no-fly zones (…
GUIDEd Agents: Enhancing Navigation Policies through Task-Specific Uncertainty Abstraction in Localization-Limited Environments
Gokul Puthumanaillam, Paulo Padrao, Jose Fuentes +2
Autonomous vehicles performing navigation tasks in complex environments face significant challenges due to uncertainty in state estimation. In many scenarios, such as stealth opera…
Towards Optimal Human-Robot Interface Design Applied to Underwater Robotics Teleoperation
Paulo Padrao, Jose Fuentes, Tero Kaarlela +2
Efficient and intuitive Human-Robot interfaces are crucial for expanding the user base of operators and enabling new applications in critical areas such as precision agriculture, a…
Feedback Motion Planning for Long-Range Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
Opeyemi S. Orioke, Tauhidul Alam, Joseph Quinn +4
Ocean ecosystems have spatiotemporal variability and dynamic complexity that require a long-term deployment of an autonomous underwater vehicle for data collection. A new long-rang…
An Underactuated Vehicle Localization Method in Marine Environments
Tauhidul Alam, Gregory Murad Reis, Leonardo Bobadilla +1
The underactuated vehicles are apposite for the long-term deployment and data collection in spatiotemporally varying marine environments. However, these vehicles need to estimate t…
