Team of Robots Learns to Work Together, Without Colliding

Sep 8, 2016 @ 02:10 | By Jason Maderer | maderer@gatech.edu With this new algorithm, the robots are using a set of safe states and barrier certificates to ensure each stays in its own safe set throughout the entire maneuver. When roboticists create behaviors for teams of robots, they first build algorithms that focus on the intended […]
