1. 1. Control barrier function-enabled human-in-the-loop control for multi-robot systems : Centralized and distributed approaches

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Victor Nan Fernandez-Ayala; [2022]
   Keywords : Multi-robot systems; Human-in-the-loop control; Control barrier functions; Safety constraints; ROS Implementation; Multirobotsystem; Human-in-the-loop-kontroll; Kontrollera barriärfunktionerna; Säkerhetsbegränsningar; ROS-implementering;

   Abstract : Autonomous multi-robot systems have found many real-world applications in factory settings, rescue tasks and light shows. Albeit these successful applications, the multi-robot system is usually pre-programmed with limited flexibility for online adaptation. READ MORE

3. 2. Improved Sensor Planning in Binaural Probabilistic Active SoundLocalisation for Robots

   University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

   Author : Arvid Norlander; [2020]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Sensor planning in the field of active robot sound localisation is an important topic that has potential applications for robots interacting with crowds, search and rescue and more, though the field is currently at the level of basic research. This thesis presents novel improvements that theoretically increase the accuracy of the predictions used in probabilistic sensor planning for sound localisation. READ MORE

4. 3. Efficient Autonomous Exploration Planning of Large-Scale 3D-Environments : A tool for autonomous 3D exploration indoor

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Artificiell intelligens och integrerade datorsystem

   Author : Magnus Selin; [2019]
   Keywords : Exploration; Planning; Sensors; Uncertainty; Drones; Mobile robots; Path planning;

   Abstract : Exploration is of interest for autonomous mapping and rescue applications using unmanned vehicles. The objective is to, without any prior information, explore all initially unmapped space. We present a system that can perform fast and efficient exploration of large scale arbitrary 3D environments.

5. 4. Spatial wireless connectivity prediction for mobile robots

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för datavetenskap och kommunikation (CSC)

   Author : Mengchan Li; [2016]
   Keywords : RSS prediction; mobile robots; RSS gradient; wireless prediction;

   Abstract : Mobile robots, either autonomous or tele-operated have the potential of assisting humans in various situations such as during natural disasters, Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) efforts, and in Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD). These robots need steady wireless connectivity with their base station for control and communication. READ MORE

6. 5. Mimer - Developing a low-cost, heavy-duty reconnaissance robot for use in Urban Search and Rescue operations

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Innovation

   Author : Björn Reiner; Marcus Svensson; [2016]
   Keywords : robot; search and rescue; robust; sensors; simple; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Robots currently exist that are specifically designed for use in the wake of disasters to help rescue teams in their work of locating and rescuing individuals trapped in confined spaces. However, they are prohibitively expensive which limits their adoption and causes the operators to think twice before they're deploying a robot with the risk of losing or damaging it. READ MORE
