A Multi-Robot Cognitive Sharing System Using Audio and Video Sensors

摘要

In this paper, we present a multi-robot system that integrates a vision-based navigation system with a non-speech-based audio system for the purpose of sorting objects. Here we use two separate robotic systems each utilizing a different sensor type: video and audio. We propose using vision-based sensors with audio-based sensors because a single sensor such as a video sensor may not understand the entire environment. Additionally, robots can come to inaccurate conclusions based on their observations so we increase the accuracy of the system by interpreting the input from multiple robots using cognitive sharing. Therefore, cooperation of multiple robots using multiple sensors provides a better understanding of the environment. The results show the effectiveness of the multi-robot cognitive sharing system.
