Experimental setup:

 

 

 

Khepera III robots, and the computer we’re using:

 

                                          

 

                                         

 

 

Software and Experiments:

 

 

   1 robot:

 

Our software implementation (in Matlab): 1_robot

 

Specification: “Visit the green region, then the red region while avoiding both blue regions, and then survey the blue regions”

 

Movies (in divx format):   computer perspective [3.1MB]     external camera (mix) [9.2MB]     external camera (full) [17.4MB]

 

 

 

   2 robots:

 

Our software implementation (in Matlab): 2_robots

 

Specification: “Avoiding both blue regions until the green and the red regions are simultaneously entered, and then visit any one of the blue regions”

 

Movies (in divx format):   computer perspective [2MB]     external camera (mix) [4.6MB]     external camera (full) [12.8MB]
