Self-regulated Multi-robot Task Allocation
To deploy a large group of autonomous robots in dynamic multi-tasking environments, a suitable multi-robot task-allocation (MRTA) solution is required. This must be scalable to variable number of robots and tasks. Recent studies show that biology-inspired self-organized approaches can effectively …

PERIMETER DEFENSE WITH MULTI-ROBOT SYSTEMS
… In addition, we consider a new axis of multi-robot capability which describes the team sizes of both the defender and intruder. This direction is especially important to consider given the recent advances in multi-robot systems. We present control policies across a range of physical and …

Multi-robot cooperative surveillance in unknown environments
This thesis presents a series of distributed multi-robot approaches for practical surveillance in unknown environments. The approaches cover exploration, target searching, target tracking, and localization problems. With respect to exploration and target-searching problems, distributed algorithms …

Graph Neural Networks for Multi-Robot Coordination
… framework that can learn to communicate between robots based on Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) towards better individual decision-making given its local information in a decentralized manner. This framework is composed of an encoder (i.e. Convolutional Neural Network) that extracts adequate …

Local distributed algorithms for multi-robot systems
The field of swarm robotics focuses on controlling large populations of simple robots to accomplish tasks more effectively than what is possible using a single robot. This thesis develops distributed algorithms tailored for multi-robot systems with large populations. Specifically we focus on local …

Multi-Robot Coordination for Hazardous Environmental Monitoring
… for human operators, we seek a fully automated robotic system that can help humans. However, there are still many challenges from hardware design to algorithm design that restrict robots to be applied to practical applications. Among these challenges, we are particularly interested in dealing …

TOPOLOGY-GUIDED MARKET-BASED MULTI-ROBOT TASK ALLOCATION
Multi-robot task allocation has long been a fundamental challenge in large-scale autonomous systems due to the need for coordination, scalability, and robustness in complex environments. Traditional optimization-based or learning-based ap- proaches often struggle to maintain efficiency as task …

Learning in the Multi-Robot Pursuit Evasion Game
… investigates the learning issue for mobile robots playing the differential forms of the pursuit-evasion (PE) game by proposing different learning algorithms. The intended learning algorithms are used to reduce (1) the computational requirements as much as possible, without affecting the …

Fault-tolerant control policies for multi-robot systems
… algorithms for networked mobile autonomous robots. Often, in multi-robot systems, each robot executing a coordination task is a little cost, a disposable autonomous agent that has ad-hoc sensing or communication capability, and limited mobility. Coordination tasks that a group of multiple …

Data-driven task allocation for multi-robot deliveries
… distributed task allocation system for a team of robots serving queues of tasks in an environment. We consider how historical information about such a system's performance could be used to improve future allocations. Our model is representative of a multi-robot mail delivery service, in which …

Coordinating construction by a distributed multi-robot system
… assembly of 3D objects that consist of multiple types of parts, using a networked team of robots. We describe the algorithm and analyze its stability and adaptation properties. We partition construction in two tasks, tool delivery and assembly. Each task is performed by a networked team …

Parsimonious, Risk-Aware, and Resilient Multi-Robot Coordination
In this dissertation, we study multi-robot coordination in the context of multi-target tracking. Specifically, we are interested in the coordination achieved by means of submodular function optimization. Submodularity encodes the diminishing returns property that arises in multi-robot coordination. …

Object Detection and Collaboration in Heterogeneous Multi-Robot Systems
With the development of novel technologies, robots are becoming more widely used in everyday applications. Compared with a single robot, Multi-Robot Systems (MRS) are more powerful and cost effective. This thesis will introduce a complete heterogeneous distributed MRS which contains an autonomous …
