A Distributed, Real-Time Approach to Multi-Robot Uniform Frequency Coverage

Description

The article proposes a novel distributed solution to the problem of Multi-Robot Uniform Frequency Coverage (MRUFC in short), in which a team of robots are requested to repeatedly visit a set of pre-defined locations of the environment with uniform frequency.With respect to other algorithms in literature, the approach proposed has extremely low requirements in terms of computational power, does not require inter-robot communication, and can even be implemented on memoryless robots, thus being easily implementable on real, marketable robot swarms. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
