This paper presents a new approach to multi-agent coverage path planning problem. This algorithm enables multiple robots with limited sensor capabilities to perform coverage efficiently over a shared territory. Each robot is assigned with an exclusive route, which enables it to carry out its cleaning process simultaneously with minimal path overlapping. The objectives of this work are (i) Identify a path for each robot such that each robot is responsible for covering a different region. In this way, there will be minimal overlap between coverage of the robots, (ii) the methods and procedures must be applicable to a group of simple mobile robots with very few sensors to guarantee their industrial interest.

When tracking people or other moving objects with a mobile robot, detection is the first and most critical step. At first most researchers focused on the tracking algorithms, but recently AdaBoost (supervised machine learning technique) was used for people legs detection in 2D range data. The results are promising, but it is unclear if the obtained classifier could be used on the data from another sensor. As it would be a huge inconvenience having to train a classifier for every sensor (setup), we set out to find if, and when is a classifier trained on one sensor setup transferable to another sensor setup. We tested two sensors in five different setups. In total, we acquired 2455 range scans. Experiments showed that the classifier trained on noisier sensor data performed better at classification of data coming from other sensor setups. Classifiers trained on less noisy data were shown to be overconfident, and performed poorly on noisy data. Furthermore, experiments showed that classifiers learned on ten times smaller datasets performed as good as classifiers trained on larger datasets. Since AdaBoost is a supervised learning technique, obtaining same classifier efficiency with significantly smaller dataset means less hand labeling of the data for the same results.

This paper proposes a framework of a distributed kinematics resolution model which can be applied to various types of multi link robot structures. In the framework, hardware modules which consists of joints and links are defined as joint components of robotic systems, then kinematics resolution models are composed of a set of the local kinematics modules (LKMs) which are software module to compute the localized direct and inverse kinematics corresponding to each joint component. Kinematics computation throughout the robotic systems is resolved by the localized kinematics calculation of LKMs for an end effecter to a target position and an information exchange among LKMs. The proposed framework has been applied to case studies of the inverse kinematics problems of 7 degree of freedom multi link robot manipulator. Case studies have confirmed the proposed model to be able to provide a dexterous framework of kinematics resolution systems for modular type robotic systems and various types of robotic systems.

A cognitive collaborative multi-agent control architecture that addresses real-world control problems for swarms of mobile robots is proposed. The swarm's emergent behaviour is obtained by using a distributed Particle Swarm Optimization inspired algorithm. A swarm-user interface is also presented and offers a way for a human operator to interact with and guide the robotic swarm without limiting its emergent intelligence. The architecture is designed as a multi-agent system developed using JADE Framework. Three types of agents were defined: local behaviour agent, social behaviour agent and graphical user interface (GUI) agent. Each robot is associated with a pair of a local and a social behaviour agents which implement the reactive component and the interaction between the robots. The swarm forms a hierarchical structure composed of subswarms and neighbourhoods based on tasks and goals defined by the user or the swarm itself. The GUI agent is used as a link between the human expert and the swarm. The architecture was tested on a swarm of e-puck robots.
