Place: Room B-343, Elektrobygget, Gløshaugen, Trondheim

Title: Air-ground multi-agent robot team coordination

Abstract:

In safety mission, search and rescue, the two main tasks are detecting the location of the survivors and evacuate them from a building full of danger. In many cases, the environment inside the building is unknown which prevents the robot team to provide instant aid for the situation. In this presentation, a new approach is presented as a solution to this problem. It consists of a ground vehicle used for the purpose of environment mapping, a micro aerial vehicle used simultaneously for the purpose of search and localization with a vertical camera and a horizontal camera, and two other micro ground vehicles with sonar, compass and colour sensor used as the back-up team.
