Neural-Dynamics-Driven Complete Area Coverage Navigation Through Cooperation of Multiple Mobile Robots

TLDR
A neural dynamics approach is proposed for complete area coverage navigation by multiple robots using a bioinspired neural network to model the workspace and guide a swarm of robots for the coverage mission.
Abstract
Multiple robots collaboratively achieve a common coverage goal efficiently, which can improve work capacity, share coverage tasks, and reduce completion time. In this paper, a neural dynamics (ND) approach is proposed for complete area coverage navigation by multiple robots. A bioinspired neural network (NN) is designed to model the workspace and guide a swarm of robots for the coverage mission. The dynamics of each neuron in the topologically organized NN is characterized by an ND equation. Each mobile robot regards other robots as moving obstacles. Each robot path is autonomously generated from the neural activity landscape of the NN and the previous robot position. The proposed model algorithm is computationally efficient. The feasibility is validated by simulation, comparison studies, and experiments.
