Virtual Elastic Tether
Development of multi-agent navigation approach for confined aquatic spaces, under limited sensory information. Validation includes full Gazebo simulation and physical implementation.
Overview
In previous project, we noticed that losing of LoS happens from time to time. To address this, we aim to develop a new approach that utilizes mutual camera views from both robots, rather than the traditional leader-follower model.
Result
Details of our approach can be found in (Yao et al., 2024). The results are very promising, with significant performance improvements observed both in simulation and on physical platforms.
