Multi-Robot Decentralized Collaborative SLAM in Planetary Analogue Environments: Dataset, Challenges, and Lessons Learned
Pierre-Yves Lajoie, Karthik Soma, Haechan Mark Bong +4
Decentralized collaborative simultaneous localization and mapping (C-SLAM) is essential to enable multirobot missions in unknown environments without relying on preexisting localiz…
An Addendum to NeBula: Towards Extending TEAM CoSTAR's Solution to Larger Scale Environments
Ali Agha, Kyohei Otsu, Benjamin Morrell +86
This paper presents an appendix to the original NeBula autonomy solution developed by the TEAM CoSTAR (Collaborative SubTerranean Autonomous Robots), participating in the DARPA Sub…
Multi-Objective Risk Assessment Framework for Exploration Planning Using Terrain and Traversability Analysis
Riana Gagnon Souleiman, Vivek Shankar Varadharajan, Giovanni Beltrame
Exploration of unknown, unstructured environments, such as in search and rescue, cave exploration, and planetary missions,presents significant challenges due to their unpredictable…
Hierarchies define the scalability of robot swarms
Vivek Shankar Varadharajan, Karthik Soma, Sepand Dyanatkar +2
The emerging behaviors of swarms have fascinated scientists and gathered significant interest in the field of robotics. Traditionally, swarms are viewed as egalitarian, with robots…
From the Lab to the Theater: An Unconventional Field Robotics Journey
Ali Imran, Vivek Shankar Varadharajan, Rafael Gomes Braga +6
Artistic performances involving robotic systems present unique technical challenges akin to those encountered in other field deployments. In this paper, we delve into the orchestra…
Congestion and Scalability in Robot Swarms: a Study on Collective Decision Making
Karthik Soma, Vivek Shankar Vardharajan, Heiko Hamann +1
One of the most important promises of decentralized systems is scalability, which is often assumed to be present in robot swarm systems without being contested. Simple limitations,…
