Architectures and Control of Networked Robotic Systems
[chapter]
2013
Handbook of Collective Robotics
Introduction A networked robot system is a system comprised of multiple robots in which robots actively communicate with each other, sensors, or other computational agents using some form of wireless communication ...
Networked robot systems are ensembles of robots that enhance their individual capabilities by sharing perception, computation and actuation capabilities with each other to solve problems that an individual ...
Be it by receiving and triangulating position information from Global Positioning System Satellites or by exchanging range and bearing information with neighboring robots. ...

COOPERATIVE EXPLORATION FOR USAR ROBOTS WITH INDIRECT COMMUNICATION
2007
IFAC Proceedings Volumes
To coordinate a team of robots for exploration is a challenging problem, particularly in unstructured areas, as for example post-disaster scenarios where direct communication is severely constrained. ...
To share a common frame of reference among robots we use a feature based SLAM approach (where features are RFIDs). The approach has been evaluated on a 3D simulation based on USARSim. ...
During execution, robots are coordinated via RFID chips and perform a local search which allows them to explore an environment with low computational overhead and communication constraints. ...

Toward Robot Perception through Omnidirectional Vision
[chapter]
2007
Studies in Computational Intelligence
In general, a single image taken by a calibrated camera provides only bearing measurements. Thus, triangulation is a more "natural" way to calculate self-localisation. ...
Omnidirectional images can be generated by a number of different systems which can be classified into four distinct design groupings: Camera-Only Systems; Multi-Camera -Multi-Mirror Systems; Single Camera ...

The international journal of robotics research
Planning for robot vision is a complex problem for an active system due to its sensing uncertainty and environmental uncertainty. ...
With increasing demand for robotic automation, research in this area has received much attention. ...
Dynamic configuration In an active vision system, since the robot needs to move from one place to another to perform a multi-view task, a traditional vision sensor with fixed structure is often inadequate ...
