Some robotic platforms are expected to perform coverage path planning (CPP) on a daily
basis. However, at times they may be expected to perform CPP in large unknown spaces …

In order to meet the requirements of coverage path planning task for unmanned surface
vehicle, a coverage apth planning algorithm of unmanned surface vehicle based on …

Coverage path planning in a generic known environment is shown to be NP-hard. When the
environment is unknown, it becomes more challenging as the robot is required to rely on its …

The dispersion problem on graphs asks k ≤ n robots initially placed arbitrarily on the nodes
of an n-node anonymous graph to reposition autonomously to reach a configuration in which …
