Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed the cooperative multi-robot control method for covering a unknown-structured fields by using computer simulation techniques. In order to recognize and avoid obstacles while each robot is moving, we devised the algorithm utilize the visual information from the camera on each robot.
We also proposed the method that the robots cooperatively collect the knowledge of the field and draw the map that is shared by the robots to proceed with the coverage task. We evaluated the ability of the method by using various numbers of robots and various structures of fields in which many types of obstacles are allocated.
