Thesis title
Multi-Agent Motion Coordination through Dynamic Coverage Control
Research overview
This research seeks to develop and demonstrate generalised and adaptive motion coordinationwithin multi-robot systems to help enable scalable and robust teaming solutions in large anddynamic environments. This work aims to extend current distributed coverage control methodswith collision avoidance techniques for improved safety guarantees during operation. A distributed state and dynamic density function estimation framework will also be explored to enable adaptive,sensing-informed agent dispersion. These extensions will facilitate adaptive formation and coverage control of heterogenous multi-robot systems with potential applications including evolving smoke plume detection, adaptive oil spill clean-up, and distributed intelligence,surveillance, and reconnaissance operations.
