Swarm Relays: Distributed Self-Healing Ground-and-Air Connectivity Chains
Vivek Shankar Varadharajan, David St-Onge, Bram Adams +1
The coordination of robot swarms - large decentralized teams of robots - generally relies on robust and efficient inter-robot communication. Maintaining communication between robot…
Failure-Tolerant Connectivity Maintenance for Robot Swarms
Vivek Shankar Varadharajan, Bram Adams, Giovanni Beltrame
Connectivity maintenance plays a key role in achieving a desired global behavior among a swarm of robots. However, connectivity maintenance in realistic environments is hampered by…
Collision-aware Task Assignment for Multi-Robot Systems
Fang Wu, Vivek Shankar Varadharajan, Giovanni Beltrame
We propose a novel formulation of the collision-aware task assignment (CATA) problem and a decentralized auction-based algorithm to solve the problem with optimality bound. Using a…
ROS and Buzz: consensus-based behaviors for heterogeneous teams
David St-Onge, Vivek Shankar Varadharajan, Guannan Li +2
This paper address the challenges encountered by developers when deploying a distributed decision-making behavior on heterogeneous robotic systems. Many applications benefit from t…
