Abstract

See full text

A Two-hop Cooperative Virtual Force Robot Deployment (Two-hop COVER) technique is described. An improved Virtual force VF approach considers the mission requirements such as the number of required robots in each locality. The Two-hop COVER expedites the deployment process by establishing a cooperative relation between robots and neighboring landmarks. Two-hop cooperation is utilized as well to reduce the time and distance needed to satisfy mission requirements. In order to reduce randomness and guide remaining robots throughout the area till they find an unsatisfied landmark, each robot utilizes its history to visit only the locations that it has not visited before. Moreover, each robot will communicate with its neighboring robots and landmarks to use their current positions and history to guide its movements.
