Multi-robot repeated area coverage

P Fazli, A Davoodi, AK Mackworth - Autonomous robots, 2013 - Springer
We address the problem of repeated coverage of a target area, of any polygonal shape, by a
team of robots having a limited visual range. Three distributed Cluster-based algorithms …

Task allocation and trajectory planning for multiple agents in the presence of obstacle and connectivity constraints with mixed‐integer linear programming

RJM Afonso, MROA Maximo… - International Journal of …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library

Reinforcement learning-based coverage path planning with implicit cellular decomposition

J Heydari, O Saha, V Ganapathy - arXiv preprint arXiv:2110.09018, 2021 - arxiv.org
Coverage path planning in a generic known environment is shown to be NP-hard. When the
environment is unknown, it becomes more challenging as the robot is required to rely on its …

Complete and robust cooperative robot area coverage with limited range
