An Approach to Reduce Communication for Multi-agent Mapping Applications
Michael E. Kepler,Daniel J. Stilwell,Michael E. Kepler,Daniel J. Stilwell
In the context of a multi-agent system that uses a Gaussian process to estimate a spatial field of interest, we propose an approach that enables an agent to reduce the amount of data it shares with other agents. The main idea of the strategy is to rigorously assign a novelty metric to each measurement as it is collected, and only measurements that are sufficiently novel are communicated. We consid...
