Collective Ranking of Environmental Signals through Gaussian Belief Propagation in a Patrolling Robot Swarm
Zachary R. Madin, Connor York, Jonathan Lawry +1
Multi-robot patrolling requires a team to visit all areas of an environment at regular intervals, typically minimising idleness. A practical extension, motivated by security and en…
Heterogeneity in Multi-Robot Environmental Monitoring for Resolving Time-Conflicting Tasks
Connor York, Zachary R Madin, Paul O'Dowd +1
Multi-robot systems performing continuous tasks face a performance trade-off when interrupted by urgent, time-critical sub-tasks. We investigate this trade-off in a scenario where…
Time-Constrained Intelligent Adversaries for Automation Vulnerability Testing: A Multi-Robot Patrol Case Study
James C. Ward, Alex Bott, Connor York +1
Simulating hostile attacks of physical autonomous systems can be a useful tool to examine their robustness to attack and inform vulnerability-aware design. In this work, we examine…
Shaping Multi-Robot Patrol Performance with Heterogeneity in Individual Learning Behavior
Connor York, Zachary R Madin, Paul O'Dowd +1
Individual differences in learning behavior within social groups, whether in humans, other animals, or among robots, can have significant effects on collective task performance. Th…
