Abstract

Swarm robot control algorithms intend to compute and coordinate the paths of a group of robots, known as a swarm, to perform certain tasks. To cooperate a swarm of robots, constant communication often is needed. However, when the robots are deployed to areas where communication network is unsteady, or unavailable, like underwater, underground, or remote areas. A continuation of the author’s summer research, this semester the multi robot RRT* was improved by using individual rewire processes and recalculating communication point when deemed inaccessible. This allows the planning scheme to be extended into the unknown space.
