Assessing Reputation to Improve Team Performance in Heterogeneous Multi-Robot Coverage

Mela Coffey,Alyssa Pierson,Mela Coffey,Alyssa Pierson

When agents in a multi-robot team have limited knowledge about their relative performance, their teammates, or the environment, robots must observe individual performance variations and adapt accordingly. We propose robot reputation to assess the historical performance of agents and make future adaptations in a persistent coverage task. We consider a heterogeneous multi-robot team, where robots ar...
