Multi-Agent Cooperative Area Coverage: Case Study Ploughing (Extended Abstract)

Abstract

We present two cooperative strategies in area coverage that are aimed to be applied in agricultural robotics domain. Current strategies in this domain rely on explicit forms of communication for task allocation and coordination. One issue with these approaches is the loss of communicating signal. This paper presents two approaches (FIFO, and LIFO) for task allocation and coordination that relies only on local information of the robots.
