Careful Management

Using a Single-Human Multiple-Robot System (SHMRS) to deploy rescue robots in Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) can induce high levels of cognitive workload and poor situation awareness. Yet, the provision of autonomous coordination between robots to alleviate cognitive workload and promote situation awareness must be made with careful management of limited robot computational and communication resources. Therefore, a technique for autonomous coordination using a hierarchically structured collective of robots has been devised to address these concerns. The technique calls for an Apex robot to perform most of the computation required for coordination, allowing Subordinate robots to be simpler computationally and to communicate with only the Apex robot instead of with many robots. This method has been integrated into a physical implementation of the SHMRS. As such, this chapter also presents practical components of the SHMRS including the robots used, the control station, and the graphical user interface.

Multi Robot

This topic will talk about the application of fleet robotics in agriculture. It will discuss the need for communications and the different strategies that could be implemented. It will also take a close look at how multi-robot systems are managed and supervised, as well as explain different planning strategies. The differences of centralised vs decentralised decision making will be explained, and an explanation of a graphical user interface will also be discussed.
