Constrained multi-agent ergodic area surveying control based on finite element approximation of the potential field

Abstract: Heat Equation Driven Area Coverage (HEDAC) is a state-of-the-art multi-agent ergodic motion control guided by a gradient of a potential field. A finite element method is hereby implemented to obtain a solution of Helmholtz partial di erential equation, which models the potential field for surveying motion control. This allows us to survey arbitrarily shaped domains and to include obstacles in an elegant and robust manner intrinsic to HEDAC's fundamental idea. For a simple kinematic motion, the obstacles and bo… Show more

“…The smoothness of the Gaussian function allows better stability and smooth motion because the coverage is accumulated near the trajectory. The use of the Gaussian function in the HEDAC control is utilized and proven in numerical experiments in two-dimensional coverage motion control applications [12,14,15]. This instantaneous action can be defined as:…”
