Abstract Coverage Path Planning (CPP) is the task of determining a path that passes over all
points of an area or volume of interest while avoiding obstacles. This task is integral to many …

There has been an increasing interest in researching, developing and deploying multi-robot
systems. This has been driven mainly by: the maturity of the practical deployment of a single …

Advancing an efficient coverage path planning in robots set up for application such as
cleaning, painting and mining are becoming more crucial. Such drive in the coverage path …

The problem of coverage of known space arises in a multitude of domains, including search
and rescue, mapping, and surveillance. In many of these applications, it is desirable or even …

This paper addresses the complete area coverage problem of a known environment by
multiple-robots. Complete area coverage is the problem of moving an end-effector over all …

In large scale coverage operations, such as marine exploration or aerial monitoring, single
robot approaches are not ideal, as they may take too long to cover a large area. In such …

This paper addresses the Multi-Robot Patrolling Problem, where agents must coordinate
their actions while continuously deciding which place to move next after clearing their …

This paper proposes a distributed approach to solve long duration area surveillance
missions with a team of aerial robots, taking into account communication constraints. The …

Robots with the ability to balance time against the thoroughness of search have the potential
to provide time-critical assistance in applications such as search and rescue. Current …

To support autonomous, in-water inspection of a ship hull, we propose and implement new
techniques for coverage path planning over complex 3D structures. Our main contribution is …
