Distributed Boundary Coverage with a Team of Networked Miniature Robots using a Robust Market-Based Algorithm

We study distributed boundary coverage of known environments using a team of miniature robots. Distributed boundary coverage is an instance of the multi-robot task-allocation problem and has applications in inspection, cleaning, and painting among others. The proposed algorithm is robust to sensor a...
