Abstract

The paper addresses the problem of probabilistic search and detection of multiple targets by the group of mobile robots that are equipped by a variety of sensors and are communicating with each other at different levels. The goal is to define the trajectories of the robots in the group such that the targets are chased in minimal time. The suggested solution model follows the occupancy grid approach, and sensor fusion is implemented using a general Bayesian scheme with varying sensitivity of the sensors. The created control algorithm was verified in three settings with different levels of communication and information sharing between the robots and different levels of sensors' sensitivity. The suggested algorithms were implemented in a software simulation to analyze and compare the different policies.
