“…Majority of these researches focus on reducing the energy consumption. Energy efficiency optimization has been applied to robot design [12], [15], locomotion principle [14], trajectory and path planning [11], [13], [16], [17], and high level scheduling [10]. However, quantifying and optimizing the energy consumption on a certain level does not provide an overview of the whole system consumption.…”

Mobile robots are increasingly being used to assist with active pursuit and law enforcement. One major limitation for such missions is the resource (battery) allocated to the robot. Factors like nature and agility of evader, terrain over which pursuit is being carried out, plausible traversal velocity and the amount of necessary data to be collected all influence how long the robot can last in the field and how far it can travel. In this paper, we develop an analytical model that analyzes the energy utilization for a variety of components mounted on a robot to estimate the maximum operational range achievable by the robot operating on a single battery discharge. We categorize the major consumers of energy as: 1.) ancillary robotic functions such as computation, communication, sensing etc., and 2.) maneuvering which involves propulsion, steering etc. Both these consumers draw power from the common power source but the achievable range is largely affected by the proportion of power available for maneuvering. For this case study, we performed experiments with real robots on planar and graded surfaces and evaluated the estimation error for each case.

Computational concepts of cognition, their implementation in complex autonomous systems, and their empirical evaluation are key techniques to understand and validate concepts of cognition and intelligence. In this paper we want to describe computational concepts of cognition that were successfully implemented in the domain of soccer playing robots and show the interactions between cognitive concepts, software engineering and real time application development. Beside a description of the general concepts we will focus on aspects of perception, behavior architecture, and reinforcement learning.
