Research Abstract

In this study, we established a patrol course planning system for multiple mobile robots to realize highly-reliable surveillance. This system can design appropriate patrol courses to observe all static and moving objects in an observation area at short intervals by letting mobiles robots patrol collaboratively. Moreover, based on a given battery capacity, appropriate patrol courses and battery station placement can be designed simultaneously.
