In this work, we propose an improved artificially weighted spanning tree coverage (IAWSTC) algorithm for distributed coverage path planning of multiple flying robots. The proposed approach is suitable for environment exploration in cluttered regions, where unexpected obstacles can appear. In addition, we present an online re-planner smoothing algorithm with unexpected detected obstacles. To validate our approach, we performed simulations and real robot experiments. The results showed that our proposed approach produces sub-regions with less redundancy than its previous version.
The insular lobe has long been investigated, from its anatomical descriptions to its neurophysiological activity. Located in a central location, the insular lobe participates in several afferent and efferent pathways, forming part of the eloquent and fundamental structures that make up the central core of the brain. The lobe of the insula has participation in language function, such as speech, sensory (e.g., taste), limbic, autonomic (visceral), also forming part of complex associative circuits, including part of the circuits of mirror neurons. Several functional descriptions attributed to the insular lobe have been made in patients suffering from cerebrovascular diseases, as well as in those with epilepsy. Much progress and many descriptions have also been made in patients with tumors. Despite much information already available about the insular lobe, it is likely that much will be discovered in the coming years.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
