Cooperative Navigation and Integration of a Human into Multi-robot System
Conference paper
Abstract
In the recent years, considerable research efforts have been conducted towards the control of a group of autonomous robots. A human moving cooperatively with a group of robots could as well broadly benefit in several applications (e.g. search and rescue operations). The key focus of this study is to investigate the inclusion of a human in the multi-robot system and consequently the robot motion coordination.
