Monitoring Over the Long Term: Intermittent Deployment and Sensing Strategies for Multi-Robot Teams
Jun Liu,Ryan K. Williams,Jun Liu,Ryan K. Williams
In this paper, we formulate and solve the intermittent deployment problem, which yields strategies that couple when heterogeneous robots should sense an environmental process, with where a deployed team should sense in the environment. As a motivation, suppose that a spatiotemporal process is slowly evolving and must be monitored by a multi-robot team, e.g., unmanned aerial vehicles monitoring pas...
