DART: Diversity-Enhanced Autonomy in Robot Teams

摘要

The field of multi-robot systems (MRS) is growing at a rapid pace. Research in MRS spans many different areas, including automated delivery, surveillance, and disaster response. There have also been many successful demonstrations of increasing numbers of robots. MRS have also been successfully deployed in the field including in warehousing, manufacturing, and entertainment. While these outcomes show the promise of MRS, the environments in which MRS have been successful are highly controlled, and some are highly instrumented, enabling precise tuning of controllers and nearly perfect knowledge of environmental conditions.
