Performance Guarantee for Autonomous Robotic Missions using Resource Management: The PANORAMA Approach

Abstract

Abstract This paper proposes the PANORAMA approach, which is designed to dynamically and autonomously manage the allocation of a robot’s hardware and software resources during fully autonomous mission. This behavioral autonomy approach guarantees the satisfaction of the mission performance constraints. This article clarifies the concept of performance for autonomous robotic missions and details the different phases of the PANORAMA approach. Finally, it focuses on an experimental implementation on a patrolling mission example.
