An essential requirement for achieving a high level of performance, autonomy, and reliability of a multi-robot system performing joint long-term operations in an unstructured environment is an advanced control system. In general, the robot’s control system is designed to be hierarchical and consists of several subsystems. To unify the interaction of individual components and reduce the load on computing and communication devices, we use the event-based methodology at different levels of the control system. In the paper, we demonstrate how this methodology can be applied to solve four challenging problems in robotics: cooperative formation control, path planning, missions scheduling, and action planning.
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.
