Coverage Path Planning (CPP) is an essential feature of robots deployed for applications such as lawn mowing, cleaning, painting, and exploration. However, most of the state-of-the-art CPP methods are proposed for fixed-morphology robots, and the coverage performance is limited by physical constraints such as the inaccessibility of narrow spaces. Apart from area coverage, productivity depends on c...
